Sixty-day US-Iran deadline expires with no deal or extension
The 60-day Islamabad memorandum deadline between the US and Iran has ended without a final agreement or official extension amid ongoing disputes.
The sixty-day deadline set by the Islamabad memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran has concluded without reaching a final agreement or securing an official extension. This deadline, established by the agreement signed on June 17, expired today, Monday, amid ongoing disagreements. Disputes persist over the Strait of Hormuz, existing sanctions, and Iran's frozen assets.
The U.S. administration led by President Donald Trump has not confirmed an extension, contending that Iran has not reopened the Strait of Hormuz or guaranteed freedom of navigation. Iran, on the other hand, dismissed the notion of a truce needing renewal, insisting the memorandum demanded a permanent cessation of military operations, not a temporary ceasefire.
Despite this, Pakistani mediator Khawaja Asif revealed that discussions regarding an extension of the ceasefire are underway, though no joint statement has been released by either Washington or Tehran regarding the prolongation of the deadline.
