US and Iran Near 60-Day Truce Extension With Nuclear Talks Framework

Mediators are nearing an agreement to extend the U.S.-Iran ceasefire by 60 days and establish a framework for nuclear negotiations, according to the Financial Times reporting on briefed sources. The deal would include gradual reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, discussions on Iran's enriched uranium stockpile, eased sanctions, and phased unfreezing of frozen assets. The agreement represents a significant diplomatic step in ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions that have affected global oil markets and regional stability for years. The extension would buy time for both parties to negotiate a longer-term nuclear accord.
