US reaches new ceasefire deal with Iran — but there's a catch
Negotiators representing the U.S. and Iran have reached a tentative agreement about the ceasefire, according to various news outlets.If signed by President Donald Trump and the Iranian regime, the ceasefire would extend for another 60 days. Trump has not yet signed off on the memorandum of understanding, according to an official who wanted to remain anonymous.'President Trump is not going to make a bad deal for the American people, for the US.'"This is an agreement to get everybody to the table," the official told Axios. "We will work out the details in the negotiations."If both sides agree to the ceasefire, it would lead to the Strait of Hormuz being opened to trade again and possibly lowering gas prices across the globe.
