Iran, US reach deal to extend ceasefire, pending Trump’s approval

If approved by leadership in Washington and Tehran, it would amount to the biggest step towards peace since the conflict began on February 28.

The United States and Iran reached an agreement on Thursday to extend their ceasefire and lift restrictions on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, sources told Reuters, though US President Donald Trump has yet to approve it and Iranian state media said it had not been finalised.
