8:27Now PlayingNegotiators for the US and Iran have reached an agreement to re-open the strait of Hormuz, extend the current ceasefire and begin negotiations on Iran’s nuclear programme. It’s understood they have agreed the current ceasefire should continue for a further 60 days.
Under the terms of the deal the Strait of Hormuz would re-open to shipping, returning to the situation that existed before the US and Israel launched their recent military action against Iran.
Donald Trump is still to approve the agreement, which comes at a time of escalating exchanges of fire between the two sides, with concern that the existing ceasefire deal may collapse. The new agreement would not amount to a peace deal itself, but instead could be a platform for serious peace talks.
