US and Iranian negotiators reached a tentative framework agreement on Thursday to extend the Iran war ceasefire by 60 days and launch negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program towards a final deal, according to US officials quoted by international outlets.
Sources said the broad outlines of a tentative deal have been reached, but US President Donald Trump still needs to sign off on the emerging memorandum of understanding, AP reported.
The deal would include a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, reports claim.
Tehran did not immediately confirm that any deal was reached with Washington.
However, a member of Iranian parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, Fada Hossein Maleki, told news agency ISNA that “a large part of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s proposals have been accepted”.
