U.S.-Iran Ceasefire To Expire Without Progress Toward Peace

President Trump signed the MOU on June 17 during the G7, giving Washington and Tehran time to negotiate a final agreement addressing issues.

The initial 60-day negotiating period laid out in the U.S.-Iran Memorandum of Understanding has expired.

The deadline marks a new test for the agreement that paused military operations between the two sides and established a framework for a broader deal.

President Trump signed the MOU on June 17 during the G7, giving Washington and Tehran 60 days max to negotiate a final agreement addressing sanctions, Iran’s nuclear program and other issues.

Monday’s expiration of the negotiating window follows renewed hostilities between the two sides. Trump said Iran should “put up the white flag of surrender,” while signaling he was not imposing a new deadline on Tehran. “I have no time schedule. I’m not in a hurry,” Trump said.

U.S. and Iran peace talks remain stalled as Tehran maintains its demands for war reparations and an end to economic sanctions.
