Status of US-Iran maritime and ceasefire agreement

On May 29, 2026, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, head of Iran's negotiating team, stated that Tehran requires concrete actions rather than mere declarations or guarantees. Ghalibaf emphasized via the X platform that Iran will not take reciprocal steps unless the opposing side acts first. These comments followed reports from Reuters that the United States and Iran had reached a tentative agreement to extend a ceasefire and lift navigation restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz. However, the status of this agreement remains uncertain. Sources indicate that U.S. President Donald Trump has not yet provided official approval for the deal. Furthermore, Iranian state media reported that the agreement has not been finalized. The situation remains in flux as both sides await formal confirmation and further action.
