The 60-day deadline set by the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding between the United States of America and Iran expires today, Monday, without reaching a final agreement or issuing a joint declaration regarding its extension. The two parties signed the memorandum in June 2026, as a framework for ending the military confrontation and opening a negotiating path on the outstanding issues, most notably the Iranian nuclear program, US sanctions, and freedom of navigation. The document, whose terms were published by Reuters, stipulates that a final agreement must be negotiated and reached within a maximum period of 60 days, which can be extended with the approval of both parties. Anatolia Agency, citing Pakistani government sources, reported that the United States and Iran agreed in principle to extend the deadline for the understanding, without agreeing on the duration of the extension. On the other hand, an Iranian official denied the existence of talks about extending the ceasefire, stressing that what is required is for the United States to return to implementing its obligations and set a clear timetable for that.
