The United States and Iran are moving closer towards extending their fragile ceasefire by another 60 days, with mediators working on an interim agreement that could create the framework for wider negotiations on Tehran’s nuclear programme and regional security issues, according to a report by the Financial Times.
People briefed on the negotiations told the newspaper that the proposed agreement includes the gradual reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, phased sanctions relief for Tehran, easing of the US blockade on Iranian ports and discussions over Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium. The talks are aimed at preventing a renewed round of military confrontation between Washington and Tehran.
