US-Iran Tentative 60-Day Ceasefire Framework Opens Path to Nuclear Talks

US and Iran have reportedly reached a 60-day framework to extend the ceasefire and begin talks on Iran's nuclear programme, though leaders in both countries have not yet signed off, according to US sources. The deal comes amid renewed regional tensions, with Iran saying it hit a US base after strikes and both sides accusing the other of violations. An unconfirmed report of a 14-point MOU suggested benefits like lifting the naval blockade and allowing non-military traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, but the White House dismissed it as fabrication. If finalized, negotiations would address the nuclear stockpile and could include mine removal and sanctions waivers to resume oil sales, though Trump has not yet given final approval and a decision remains uncertain.
