- Trump convened a White House Situation Room meeting with advisors on May 29, 2026 to decide on a tentative Iran ceasefire extension deal.
- J.D. Vance said the sides were still debating a few language points on nuclear provisions and could not confirm whether Trump would approve the agreement.
- Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf posted on X that Iran will not act until the United States takes concrete steps, emphasizing reliance on missiles over talks.
- Iran would see the ceasefire extended by 60 days under the tentative deal, and a new round of talks on its 440.9 kg of 60%‑enriched uranium would begin.
- International Atomic Energy Agency notes that Iran’s 440.9 kg of 60%‑enriched uranium is a short technical step from weapons‑grade 90% enrichment.
Why it matters: The 60‑day ceasefire extension gives the United States a window to negotiate Iran’s 440.9 kg of 60%‑enriched uranium, and Vance says the extension would substantially set back Tehran’s nuclear programme, benefiting the American people.
