Published 1 day ago

A high-level meeting called by US President Donald Trump to finalize a framework for continuing the ceasefire with Iran ended without a clear decision. Trump reiterated that Iran must commit to never developing nuclear weapons or bombs, and that the Strait of Hormuz must be open for unobstructed passage. While a draft agreement had been prepared to extend the ceasefire for 60 days and begin talks on Iran's nuclear program, it requires approval from both Trump and Iranian leadership. Trump stated he would only agree to a deal that benefits the US and meets his redlines. Iran's Fars News Agency called Trump's statements a mix of truth and falsehood, denying any provision for destroying nuclear materials in the draft agreement. Tensions remain high, with both sides accusing each other of ceasefire violations.
