According to the Associated Press, US and Iranian negotiators have reached a preliminary agreement to extend a ceasefire for 60 days. This pause aims to halt the three-month conflict and restart talks on Iran's nuclear program.
The agreement requires Iran to stop collecting tolls from ships in the Strait of Hormuz and clear naval mines within 30 days. In exchange, the United States will gradually ease its maritime blockade on Iranian ports, allowing more oil exports.
The fate of Iran's highly enriched uranium stockpile remains a major point of contention. Despite this preliminary deal, regional tensions persist, with ongoing Israeli military operations in Lebanon and continued unrest across the Middle East.
