The war between the United States and Iran has now entered day 91, with both countries moving closer to a possible 60-day ceasefire agreement that could temporarily reduce tensions across the Middle East. The proposed deal is being discussed after weeks of heavy military pressure, economic disruption, and rising fears of a wider regional conflict involving Gulf nations and global oil routes.
According to multiple international reports, American and Iranian negotiators have already prepared a draft memorandum of understanding for the temporary deal. However, the agreement still requires final approval from US President Donald Trump and senior Iranian leadership before it can officially take effect. The proposed deal is expected to extend the current ceasefire for another 60 days while both sides continue talks over Iran’s nuclear program and regional security issues.
One of the biggest points in the negotiations is the future of the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important oil shipping routes. Under the draft agreement, Iran would reopen the Strait fully for international shipping and remove naval mines placed in the area during the conflict. In return, the United States may ease some sanctions, lift restrictions on Iranian ports, and allow limited Iranian oil exports during the negotiation period.
Even as diplomacy continues, military tensions have not completely stopped. Reports say US forces recently carried out new strikes on Iranian military positions after American officials claimed Iranian drones threatened commercial ships near the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard later responded by targeting a US military base in the Gulf region, showing that the situation remains unstable despite ongoing peace discussions.
US Vice President JD Vance said both countries are “very close” to reaching an agreement, although he admitted that several difficult issues still remain unresolved. Iran has also publicly denied some American claims that a final peace deal is already complete, showing that mistrust between the two governments continues to slow progress.
Inside the United States, the possible agreement has also created political pressure for President Donald Trump. Some Republican leaders believe the deal may give Iran too many economic benefits without fully ending its nuclear ambitions. Others support the negotiations because rising oil prices and instability in the Middle East have already affected global markets and fuel costs.
The current conflict began earlier this year after large-scale strikes by US and Israeli forces targeted Iranian military sites and senior leadership. Iran later responded with missile and drone attacks across the region, including threats to shipping routes and military bases. Since then, the war has caused major damage across several countries and increased fears of a broader Middle East crisis.
Analysts believe the next few days could become very important for the future of the conflict. If both sides approve the temporary ceasefire extension, it may open the door for longer negotiations on sanctions relief, nuclear restrictions, and regional security. However, continued military strikes or political disagreements could still cause the talks to collapse at any moment.
For now, the world is closely watching whether Washington and Tehran can turn the fragile ceasefire into a more stable agreement after nearly three months of conflict.
