US and Iranian negotiators have reached a tentative agreement to extend the ceasefire in the three-month-old conflict by 60 days and begin talks on Iran’s nuclear programme, according to a US official familiar with the matter. However, President Donald Trump has yet to approve the emerging memorandum of understanding. Iran has not officially confirmed the reported breakthrough. The fragile ceasefire faced renewed strain after the US accused Iran of violating it following missile attacks targeting Kuwait after earlier American strikes. US Central Command said Kuwait intercepted Iranian missiles, while Iran described its actions as retaliation for US attacks. Despite repeated accusations, drone interceptions, and military exchanges near the Strait of Hormuz, both Washington and Tehran have continued negotiations without returning to full-scale war.
