And Iran agree to extend ceasefire, launch talks on Iran's nuclear program

The United States and Iran reached a tentative 60-day ceasefire extension and planned talks on Iran's nuclear program, according to a U.S. official familiar with the matter. The memorandum would also require Iran not to impose tolls on the Strait of Hormuz and to remove all mines from the waterway within 30 days. The agreement comes as the broader war has unsettled regional security, with Kuwait intercepting missiles fired from Iran. The U.S. would gradually lift its naval blockade and permit greater Iranian oil sales, contingent on formal approvals. The nuclear talks would address Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium, about 440.9 kilograms at up to 60% purity, with potential third-party involvement considered, though final terms depend on President Trump's approval.
