United States and Iranian negotiators have reportedly agreed on a framework for a 60-day ceasefire extension deal, with final approval from U.S. President Donald Trump still pending, according to American sources cited in international reports.
The development comes amid renewed diplomatic efforts to stabilise tensions and prevent further escalation following earlier breaches of a fragile ceasefire arrangement between the two countries.
According to the sources, President Trump has circulated a draft peace proposal among key allies, including Israel, as Washington seeks to consolidate support for a broader agreement.
Pakistan’s Foreign Minister, Mohammad Ishaq Dar, is also expected to travel to Washington for talks with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio as part of efforts to accelerate negotiations.
The reported framework includes a memorandum of understanding aimed at extending the truce and opening discussions on Iran’s nuclear programme.
While there has been no official confirmation from either the White House or Iranian authorities, sources said both sides have tentatively aligned on key elements of the proposed arrangement.
Under the proposed 60-day deal, commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz would reportedly proceed without tolls or harassment, while Iran would be required to remove naval mines within 30 days, according to Axios.
In return, the United States would lift its naval blockade on Iranian ports in proportion to the restoration of commercial shipping activity.
The draft agreement also reportedly includes a commitment by Iran not to pursue nuclear weapons, with early negotiations expected to focus on the management of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpiles.
President Trump has consistently maintained that Iran must not acquire nuclear weapons under any peace arrangement, following U.S. and Israeli military operations that began in February.
A fragile ceasefire has been in place since early April, although both sides have previously accused each other of violating its terms following exchanges of fire.
Trump, speaking earlier in the week, said he was “not satisfied” with Iran’s proposals and warned of possible military action if diplomatic efforts fail.
Meanwhile, diplomatic pressure is reportedly increasing, with China urging the United Nations Security Council to endorse any final agreement.
Neither the U.S. administration nor Iranian officials have issued formal confirmation of the reported framework at the time of filing this report.
