Unnamed US officials told Al Jazeera on 28 May that the two sides had reached a preliminary memorandum of understanding to extend the ceasefire by 60 days and open talks on permanently ending the war, a report first carried by Axios that the White House confirmed. Axios reported that Hormuz traffic would be unrestricted, the US would lift its blockade, Iran would commit not to seek a nuclear weapon and Iran would clear mines within 30 days. Treasury Secretary Bessent said it would be "the president's decision"; Tasnim, citing a source close to the talks, denied a deal was imminent. The old tracker dated this 29 May.
