According to a report by Axios on May 28, 2026, the United States and Iran have reached a preliminary understanding to extend their ongoing ceasefire for an additional 60 days. The proposal, however, is still awaiting approval from US President Donald Trump, as per sources cited by Axios.
The reported development comes after Iran and the US engaged in indirect talks mediated by Oman, with the initial ceasefire agreement taking effect earlier this year. The extension would aim to maintain stability and provide more time for negotiations on a broader agreement.
Axios noted that the deal is not yet finalized and depends on Trump's sign-off. The White House has not officially commented on the report as of May 29, 2026.
