US and Iran Negotiators Reach Tentative Ceasefire Agreement Pending President Trump's Approval
US and Iranian negotiators have reached a tentative agreement to extend a ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, as confirmed by the White House. This agreement, however, requires President Trump's approval to proceed. The deal aims to lift the US blockade on Iranian ports in exchange for unrestricted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Additionally, it sets a 60-day period for the US and Iran to begin negotiations on Tehran's nuclear program. Despite a recent violation by Iran, which involved firing towards a US military base in Kuwait, the US has maintained its commitment to the ceasefire. The agreement also includes provisions for Iran to de-mine the waterway and refrain from imposing tolls on ships passing through the strait.
