US-Iran ceasefire agreement to be public soon, permanent truce still awaits negotiation

Interim deal extends ceasefire by 60 days, eases oil trade restrictions and opens a window for negotiations on a permanent US-Iran settlement.

Details began to emerge on Tuesday of the US and Iran's interim agreement to end the war in the Middle East, with US President Donald Trump saying it will rule out a nuclear weapon for Tehran and a US official saying it allows Iran to sell oil upon signing.
