The United States and Iran have reportedly agreed on the framework of a deal to extend a 60-day ceasefire and begin negotiations on Tehran’s nuclear programme, according to sources cited by news agency AFP.
However, the agreement has not yet received final approval from either side, with senior leadership in both countries still required to formally sign off on the proposal.
An Axios report stated that while the framework has been largely finalised and “mostly agreed” upon as of Tuesday, Iran has not officially accepted the deal yet.
US President Donald Trump has also not given immediate approval despite being briefed on the details of the proposed agreement. Quoting a US official, Axios reported that Trump said he “wants a couple of days to think about it” before making a final decision.
The proposed understanding is expected to pave the way for fresh diplomatic engagement between Washington and Tehran, particularly concerning Iran’s nuclear programme, which has remained a major point of tension between the two nations for years.
Further developments are expected once both governments complete internal consultations and formally respond to the framework agreement.
