When asked if he could confirm on the record a tentative deal for a 60-day US-Iran ceasefire, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said:

“It’s always a mistake to get out ahead of the president, so it’s all going to be the president’s decision. I think we can see that the president very clearly stated his three [conditions]: open the Strait, no highly-enriched uranium, no nuclear programme.”

When asked if those conditions were part of a temporary deal, Bessent replied: “If there can be no deal without those, why would there be a deal without those?
