As the US-Iran conflict enters its third month, a US official stated that negotiators have reached a preliminary agreement to extend the ceasefire by 60 days and initiate talks on Iran's nuclear program. The agreement, in the form of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), still requires approval from President Donald Trump. News site Axios first reported the details. Iran has not yet confirmed any agreement. The fragile ceasefire appears to be wavering, as the US military accused Iran of violating the ceasefire earlier today following reports of attacks on US ally Kuwait after US airstrikes on Iran.
