TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - U.S. and Iran's negotiators have reached an initial agreement to extend the ceasefire for 60 days. As reported by Anadolu on Thursday, this includes the nuclear negotiation framework, according to several U.S. sources.
However, the sources stated that U.S. President Donald Trump has not given final approval to the memorandum of understanding, even though negotiators from both sides have finalized most of the agreement terms.
Axios reported that a broader agreement regarding U.S. demands on Iran's nuclear program still requires further negotiations.
U.S. officials, cited by Axios, said Iranian negotiators later informed them that they had obtained the necessary approval and were ready to sign the agreement. However, Tehran has not openly confirmed the claim.
The report mentioned that U.S. negotiators explained the proposal to Trump, but he requested additional time before making a decision.
"The president relayed to the mediators that he wants a couple of days to think about it," said a U.S. official as quoted by Axios.
Key Agreements
In the proposed MoU, commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz will continue without hindrance.
Iran is also required to clear all mines from the strategic route within 30 days and not impose charges or interfere with passing vessels.
The report added that the U.S. naval blockade will be gradually lifted as commercial shipping activities recover.
The MoU also includes Iran's commitment not to pursue nuclear weapons and to prioritize negotiations regarding high-enriched uranium stock and enrichment activities during the 60 days.
In return, the U.S. is willing to discuss easing sanctions and releasing frozen Iranian funds as part of the negotiations. The MoU will also cover mechanisms to facilitate the delivery of goods and humanitarian aid to Iran.
