The United States and Iran reach a tentative memorandum of understanding to extend their existing ceasefire by 60 days, according to multiple reports citing U.S. officials or sources familiar with the talks. The arrangement is also described as creating space for follow-on negotiations related to Iran’s nuclear program. Several outlets report that the deal is not final and requires President Donald Trump’s approval before it can take effect. Axios is cited by several outlets as reporting that Trump has asked for additional time to consider the proposal before deciding.

The ceasefire, first set in April, is described as fragile, with both sides’ actions and reported tensions indicating it remains under strain. One outlet reports that U.S. military strikes occur amid the period of heightened tensions, while other reporting notes that the proposed extension would help maintain or restore aspects of regional risk reduction, including arrangements affecting traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. Sources also indicate that negotiations continue alongside questions related to enforcement and nuclear issues, though mutual disputes over compliance persist.
