United States (US) Vice President JD Vance has confirmed that the US-Iran ceasefire deal is ‘very close’ to being finalised.
“We are not there yet, but we are very close and we are going to keep on working at it,” he told reporters.
Vance said negotiators are “going back and forth on a couple of language points”, which include the “question of enrichment”.
According to reports, the deal will extend the ceasefire for 60 days and launch talks on the future of Iran’s nuclear programme.
Similarly, the White House deputy chief of staff, Stephen Miller, has said that in addition to a “complete reopening” of the Strait of Hormuz, Iran has made “many other concessions that are going to be unveiled in the time to come”.
In an interview with Fox News, Miller described the concessions as “significant, material, and dramatic”, saying they “would have been impossible only a short time ago”.
“But again, there is no deal until there is a deal; nothing is final until it is final,” Miller said.
US-Iran ceasefire deal reached, final approval pending: US news website claims
Axios, which first reported a tentative agreement between the US and Iran on Thursday, said that Trump had been briefed on the proposal but did not immediately sign off on it.
Iran has also reportedly shown willingness to hold talks with the US regarding its nuclear program.
According to the report, this development is being seen as an important diplomatic success after recent tensions in the region.
