Al-Arabiya reported on Monday that the United States and Iran have agreed to extend the 60-day negotiation window set under their Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The Arabic network did not disclose the new duration or the specific mechanism of the extension.
The 60-day period was established in June as part of the Islamabad MoU, a preliminary framework aimed at ending direct hostilities between the two countries and opening negotiations on Iran's nuclear program. The Zioneer previously reported on the MoU's signing and on prior discussions about possible deadline adjustments, including signals from both sides that the timeline could be flexible.
The Al-Arabiya report has not been independently confirmed by US or Iranian officials. No further details are available on what prompted the extension, whether it applies retroactively, or whether it affects related ceasefires on other fronts.
