Breaking: Trump Weighs Historic Iran Peace Agreement After Negotiators Reach Tentative Deal
President Donald Trump is reportedly considering what could become one of the most consequential diplomatic victories of his second term, as U.S. and Iranian negotiators have allegedly reached a tentative peace framework aimed at extending the current ceasefire and ending Tehran’s nuclear weapons ambitions.
According to a Thursday morning report from Axios, negotiators from both sides have agreed in principle to a 60-day arrangement that would keep the ceasefire in place while laying the groundwork for a permanent halt to Iran’s nuclear program.
Axios reporter Barak Ravid, citing two U.S. officials, reported that President Trump has not yet given the agreement final approval.
The proposed deal would reportedly require Iran to commit “not to pursue a nuclear weapon.”

The reported framework would also force Iran to dispose of its already enriched uranium, a major demand from Washington and a central concern for those who have long warned about the regime’s nuclear ambitions.
In addition, Axios reported that the agreement would guarantee unrestricted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important energy corridors. Under the proposed terms, Iran would be required to remove all mines from the strait within 30 days.
CNN commentator Scott Jennings shared the report on X and said he was able to confirm its authenticity:
Looks like a huge win for President Trump and the US. Hearing from a Senior Admin Official this report is TRUE and the U.S. appears to be getting everything we want. https://t.co/4BjivuvLoj

A U.S. official told Axios that the arrangement would also mean no tolls and no harassment in the critical shipping lane.
The report further stated that the current U.S. naval blockade would be gradually lifted if the agreement moves forward.
For President Trump, the decision now appears to be whether the tentative agreement is strong enough to protect American interests, secure regional stability, and prevent Iran from using diplomacy as cover to rebuild its nuclear capabilities.
“The president relayed to the mediators that he wants a couple of days to think about it,” one source reportedly told Ravid.
If approved, the agreement could mark a major turning point in the conflict with Iran and a significant foreign policy win for Trump, who has long argued that peace is best achieved through strength, pressure, and clear consequences for hostile regimes.
