Iran is reviewing a proposed agreement with the US to halt their war, Iranian media reported on Tuesday, after US President Donald Trump said talks to reach a deal were continuing.

Iran has not yet responded to a proposed final text of the temporary deal, and was taking a “stern” approach given what it sees as a history of US non-compliance and longstanding mistrust, the semi-official Mehr news agency cited a source as saying.
Trump said on Monday that negotiations with Iran were continuing and there would be a deal over the next week to extend a ceasefire agreed in early April and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
