The US and Iran still need to work out several sticking points before an agreement on the war can be reached, Vice-President JD Vance has said. Asked by the BBC if President Donald Trump was close to signing a deal, Vance said it was too early to say "when or if" the two sides would finalise an agreement. The deal would reportedly extend the ceasefire for 60 days and launch talks on the future of Iran's nuclear programme.
Earlier on Thursday, US officials told the BBC that the two countries had agreed a framework of a deal, pending the approval of Trump and Iran's leadership. But Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency reported the deal had not been finalised or confirmed.
