U.S., Iran reach deal for 60-day ceasefire extension, nuclear talks

The U.S. and Iran have reached an agreement to extend their ceasefire by 60-days and begin talks on the regime's nuclear program, sources confirmed to Just the News.

The Associated Press first reported on the agreement, which comes in the wake of U.S. strikes on Iran this week and a series of live-fire exchanges between the Islamic Republic and gulf state neighbors.

As of press time, there is no indication that Tehran has conceded to Trump's core demands on abandoning its nuclear ambitions, but the ceasefire extension seems to signal that the appetite for renewed open conflict is minimal.

In effect, the deal represents a continuation of the status quo, which has been a state of nominal ceasefire amid negotiations, with the occasional flare up.

The war began in late February, when the U.S. and Israel launched a series of joint strikes that killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
