The U.S. and Iran have reached an agreement on extending the ceasefire — or have they? Neither country has given clear answers about what the 60-day memorandum of understanding could include. The framework could lead to reopening the Strait of Hormuz while punting discussion of Donald Trump’s demands to end Iran’s nuclear program, The New York Times reports.
U.S. officials have gone on background to say the deal is all but done. But publicly, they have only reiterated their hard lines today while Trump remains silent.
