JAKARTA - US and Iranian negotiators have reached an agreement on a 60-day memorandum of understanding (MoU) to extend the ceasefire and begin negotiations on Iran's nuclear program, but President Donald Trump has not given his final approval, according to two US officials and a regional source involved in the mediation effort to Axios.
The signing of the MOU will be the most significant diplomatic breakthrough since the war began, but a final agreement addressing Trump's nuclear demands still requires further intensive negotiations.
"This is an agreement to bring all parties to the negotiating table. We will discuss the details in the negotiations," said one of the US officials, launching Axios (28/5).
The latest conflict broke out in the Middle East along with US and Israeli attacks on Tehran and a number of other cities, killing civilians, a number of senior officials, and the late Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on February 28.
Iran retaliated by launching attacks on Israeli territory and a number of US-related infrastructure in the neighboring Middle East country.
Iran has also tightened control over the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of global oil and gas traffic passes each day.
Later, the US and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Pakistani mediation on April 8.
Although the meeting of the two countries' delegations on April 11 in Islamabad failed to reach an agreement, President Trump extended the ceasefire indefinitely a few hours before the first ceasefire agreement expired.
