🔸 The U.S. and Iran reportedly agreed on a 60-day ceasefire extension and a framework for nuclear talks in Doha three days ago.
Axios reported that President Trump asked mediators for several days to consider the proposal before making a final decision. Both sides are delaying a formal announcement.
🔸 Iranian negotiators reportedly briefed their leadership on the agreement, while the U.S. side is awaiting President Trump’s approval.
i24 News reports that while Iranian negotiator Araghchi and the U.S. team led by Witkoff reportedly reached an agreement framework, it has not received approval from Iran’s senior leadership. According to a source cited by the outlet, Mojtaba Khamenei did not approve the agreement, which may also explain why President Trump has not yet given final consent or signed off on the deal.
Sources told Tasnim News Agency: "What some Western sources are circulating regarding the completion of drafting the memorandum of understanding between Tehran and Washington is incorrect".
⚠️ According to Axios, the reported framework would include unrestricted access through the Strait of Hormuz without tolls or Iranian intervention.
The reported terms also include lifting the U.S. naval blockade in proportion to restored shipping through the strait, an Iranian commitment not to pursue nuclear weapons, and negotiations during the 60-day period on Iran’s uranium stockpile, sanctions relief, and the release of frozen funds.
❗️ U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned against any attempt to impose tolls in the Strait of Hormuz.
"The United States Government will not tolerate any effort to impose a tolling system in the Strait of Hormuz. Oman, in particular, should know that the U.S. Treasury will aggressively target any actors involved - directly or indirectly - in facilitating tolls for the Strait and any willing partners will be penalized. All nations should reject outright any efforts by Iran to disrupt the free flow of commerce. Tehran’s days of terrorizing the region and the world are over."
Al-Jazeera reported that Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said Iran stands in solidarity with Oman after President Trump threatened to "blow up" the country if it did not "behave just like everybody else" regarding control over the Strait of Hormuz.
🗣️ An Israeli military official told the Israeli Broadcasting Authority that the IDF fears any agreement between Washington and Tehran could freeze Israeli operations against Hezbollah.
💥 U.S. and/or joint U.S.-Israeli forces reportedly carried out new strikes after American forces shot down Iranian drones near the Strait of Hormuz and struck a drone control site in Bandar Abbas.
Iran reportedly retaliated by targeting a U.S. airbase in Kuwait and firing at vessels near the strait, though details remain disputed and independently unverified.
The IRGC released footage showing missiles launched toward a U.S. base in Kuwait, describing the attack as retaliation for an earlier American strike near Bandar Abbas in southern Iran. The footage also included symbolic anti-U.S. imagery.
