Mediators believe they are nearing agreement to extend a ⁠U.S. ⁠ceasefire with Iran by 60 days and set a ⁠framework for talks on Tehran’s nuclear programme, the Financial Times reported on Saturday, citing people briefed ⁠on the talks.

The ⁠deal would include a gradual reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, discussions on diluting or ⁠transferring Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium, and steps by Washington to ease its blockade of ⁠Iranian ‌ports ‌and sanctions ⁠relief, the ‌report added.
