A new development took place while the ceasefire negotiations were continuing in the Middle East war, which started with large-scale air strikes by the USA and Israel against many cities in Iran on February 28, 2026, and grew with Iran targeting US bases in the region and Israeli lands. In this context, it was claimed that the USA and Iran were close to a 60-day ceasefire extension on the Strait of Hormuz. In their statement on the issue, US officials stated that the parties were working on a two-month agreement text that could be extended by mutual negotiation.
According to the draft agreement, the Strait of Hormuz will be open to ship passage for a two-month period, the mines laid by Iran in the strait will be cleared and ships will be allowed to pass freely. THE BLOCKAGE AGAINST IRANIAN PORTS WILL BE LIFTED In return, it has been claimed that the USA will end the blockade of Iranian ports and provide some sanctions exemptions so that the Tehran administration can freely carry out oil sales.
US officials stated that the Trump administration’s basic approach to reconciliation is “relief in exchange for performance”. It was claimed that the USA wanted to get a commitment from Iran to end its enrichment activities and give up nuclear materials in the talks held through mediators with Iran. Officials claimed that the United States was open to discussing issues such as easing sanctions and releasing Iranian frozen funds in the two-month period.
MUTUAL ATTACKS BETWEEN ISRAEL AND HIZBULLAH WILL END On the other hand, according to the news in the Iranian press, the temporary removal of sanctions on Iran’s oil sector during the negotiation process will also be included in the ceasefire agreement. It was also claimed that the memorandum text would also include articles regarding ending mutual attacks between Israel and Hezbollah. US President Donald Trump stated in his statement that negotiations were being held with the aim of reaching a major agreement with Iran, and that the details of the agreement were discussed and would be announced to the public in a short time.
