The US and Iran are weighing a two-week extension of their ceasefire set to
expire Tuesday to allow more time for negotiations, according to sources
familiar with the matter. Mediators aim to launch technical talks on key
disputes, including reopening the Strait of Hormuz and limits on Iran’s nuclear
enrichment. No agreement has been reached, and Washington has not yet approved
the extension. President Donald Trump said the conflict is “close to over.” Iran
maintains its right to civilian nuclear enrichment, while signaling flexibility
on its scope.
