US President Donald Trump has said he is holding a meeting to make a “final determination” about an agreement to extend a ceasefire with Iran.

He said Iran “must agree that they will never have a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb”, that the Strait of Hormuz must be reopened for “unrestricted shipping traffic, in both directions” and that any mines in the waterway “must be destroyed”.

“I will be meeting now, in the Situation Room, to make a final determination,” he said on Truth Social. Iran has not yet commented.

It comes after US officials told the BBC the two countries had agreed a framework of a deal – known as a memorandum of understanding – pending the approval of Trump and Iran’s leadership.
