US President Donald Trump has told American negotiators 'not to rush' into a deal with Iran, signalling caution even as talks continue, according to the BBC. The instruction suggests Washington wants to keep the pace of diplomacy under its own control.
The arrangement under discussion would involve a 60-day extension of a ceasefire, during which the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened, US media report. No agreement has been signed, and both sides have at times played down expectations of an imminent breakthrough.
The Strait is a vital artery for global oil shipments, so any deal affecting it would carry significant economic weight. Analysts and energy markets will watch whether the talks produce a durable agreement or stall again. Details remain subject to confirmation.
