US, Iran agree peace deal framework, Trump yet to approve it

The United States and Iran have agreed on a framework deal for a 60-day ceasefire extension, but the memorandum of understanding still needs US President Donald Trump's approval. Sources told news agency AFP that the two nations had reached an agreement on extending the ceasefire and to launch negotiations on Iran's nuclear programme.
According to an Axios report, Iran has also not agreed to the deal yet. The report mentioned that the framework of the deal has been worked on and "mostly agreed" to as of Tuesday, but the senior leadership of both parties still needs to give their approval. Although Trump has been briefed on the details about the deal, he did not sign off on it immediately and said that he "wants a couple of days to think about it", Axios reported quoting a US official.
The proposed agreement would also include an Iranian commitment not to pursue nuclear weapons. During the 60-day negotiation period, both sides would discuss the future of Iran's highly enriched uranium stockpile and the issue of uranium enrichment. It comes as fresh military exchanges between Washington and Tehran continue to shake the region and raise fears that the ceasefire could collapse at any moment.
Under the reported proposal, shipping through the Strait of Hormuz would become "unrestricted". US officials said Iran would be required to remove naval mines from the area within 30 days and halt any interference with commercial vessels. In return, the US would gradually ease its naval blockade as shipping traffic returned to normal levels.
