US-Iran talks hit new impasse as MoU's 60-day deadline expires with no deal
On Monday afternoon, Saudi news channel Al Arabiya reported that the US and Iran have agreed to extend a 60-day ceasefire.
The 60-day deadline from the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the United States and Iran expired on Monday without any progress towards a final agreement. The two nations were divided over key issues, particularly the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's nuclear program. President Donald Trump expressed his primary goal of preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
A senior Iranian official denied reports of an extension, stating that the United States had violated the interim agreement just 48 hours after it was reached and subsequently withdrew from it. There has been no consensus on extending the 60-day period, as Iran remains firm in its stance.
