Svmuu News According to an Associated Press report today (April 15), mediators are close to reaching an agreement on extending the temporary ceasefire between the United States and Iran and pushing for the resumption of negotiations. Sources said the two sides have "agreed in principle" to extend the ceasefire agreement, which is set to expire on April 22, to buy more time for diplomacy. The report stated that the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports and threats from Iran have cast uncertainty over the prospects for the ceasefire. Currently, all parties are seeking compromises on key differences such as Iran's nuclear program, the Strait of Hormuz, and wartime compensation. (CCTV International News) (Jin10)
