US President Donald Trump met advisers on Friday to discuss extending the ceasefire with Iran but did not make a final decision, according to reports in the US media.
The meeting came amid claims that Washington and Tehran have reached a preliminary memorandum of understanding aimed at ending the conflict.
Reports said that the draft agreement would make shipping through the Strait of Hormuz “unrestricted”, with Iran given 30 days to remove mines while the US would gradually lift its naval blockade and ease sanctions, including restrictions on Iranian oil exports.
The proposed deal would also include an Iranian commitment not to pursue nuclear weapons, with talks during a 60-day period focusing on uranium enrichment and Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium.
The Associated Press reported that the draft also includes provisions aimed at ending the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, as well as commitments against interference in the domestic affairs of regional states.
