America and Iran 60-day deadline ends
The 60-day deadline for the memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran has expired. This agreement was signed on June 17, 2026, with the aim of halting military escalation and negotiating over Iran’s nuclear program, sanctions, and freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. Although no final agreement or official extension has been announced, tensions in the region are escalating, and vessel movements through the strait have significantly decreased. At the end of the week, there was very limited ship traffic, with Pakistani sources confirming a tentative approval for an extension without specifying its duration. Iran, on the other hand, denied any negotiations to extend the deadline, emphasizing the need for the U.S. to return to its commitments. Reports also reveal a behind-the-scenes role played by Kurdistan Region leader Nechirvan Barzani as an intermediary between Washington and the Iranian Revolutionary Guards leadership, in an attempt to advance the negotiations.
