U.S. officials said negotiators agreed a memorandum to extend the ceasefire by 60 days and open talks on a final deal, pending Trump's sign-off; as described, Hormuz would reopen, Iran would clear mines within 30 days and pledge not to build a nuclear weapon, and the U.S. blockade would be lifted in parallel. The Guardian reported Trump had circulated the draft among allies including Israel, and Pakistan's foreign minister was to fly to Washington the next day.
Why it matters
Days of U.S. and Iranian strikes had not derailed the text, but the decision now rested with Trump.
