This morning, sources tell ABC News US and Iranian negotiators are closing in on a short-term deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but President Trump has yet to give his seal of approval.
>> I negotiate. They negotiate. They're very good negotiators. They're crafty, but uh in the end, we have all the cars.
>> Officials say the framework would see the straight fully reopened over 60 days.
Iran loosening its chokeold on the critical waterway while the US gradually pulls back its naval blockade of Iranian ports.
But the toughest negotiations are still to come.
This tentative deal says nothing of what happens to Iran's nuclear program, the central issue in this conflict.
The president's stated reason for starting this war to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
There are a couple of issues on uh the nuclear uh stuff, the the highlyenly enriched stockpile and also the question enrichment. So, you know, we're going back and forth with them.
>> Some experts skeptical and for the Iranians, they have they have now come out major uh you know, a far ahead of where they could imagine the nuclear issue, the missiles and the proxy issues are now off the table and they're only focusing on the Straits of Hormone.
>> Yeah. Another sticking point, US sanctions on Iran. The president has said lifting those is a non-starter, but now Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant not ruling it out. Just to be clear, is sanctions relief for Iran on the table?
Uh again, it it is a multiaceted agreement and um nothing is going to be agreement and um nothing is going to be
on the table until we see the straight of Hormos open and the Iranians agree that they they have to turn over the the highly enriched uranium and that they can't have a nuclear program.
Now, news of this potential short-term deal came just hours after the US and Iran traded strikes.
But still, the Iran traded strikes. But still, the White House insists the ceasefire is holding.
The vice president telling reporters, quote, "Ceasefires are always a little messy."
>> very high stakes there. Okay, Mary.
Thank you.
