US and Iranian representatives have agreed on an initial plan to prolong the ongoing ceasefire for another 60 days and commence negotiations surrounding Iran's nuclear activities. This development was shared by a US official, speaking under the condition of anonymity, who indicated that the proposal requires President Trump's endorsement.
