US and Iran sign ceasefire agreement, details remain unclear

Memorandum extends fragile 60-day ceasefire and reopens Strait of Hormuz, but key disputes over Iran’s nuclear programme, sanctions relief and regional conflicts remain unresolved.

US President Donald Trump said on Monday a preliminary agreement to end the war in the Gulf has been signed by the US and Iran, though details have yet to be made public and both countries said a permanent truce is yet to be negotiated.
