Axios first reported Thursday that White House officials confirmed a ceasefire agreement that would also launch a new round of negotiations over Iran’s nuclear facilities, including addressing its stockpile of enriched uranium. The deal is awaiting President Donald Trump’s approval.
“The agreement would see the US drop its blockade on Iranian ports in exchange for a return to ‘unrestricted’ shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, according to the White House,” the New York Post reported.
The U.S. claimed that Iran violated the current ceasefire agreement on Thursday morning by firing a ballistic missile at Kuwait.
“This egregious ceasefire violation by the Iranian regime occurred hours after Iranian forces launched five one-way attack drones that posed a clear threat in and near the Strait of Hormuz,” CENTCOM posted on X Thursday morning.
