(MENAFN- Gulf Times) US Vice President JD Vance said that Washington has not yet reached an agreement with Iran, but indicated that the two sides are close to achieving one.

Speaking to reporters today, he added that the United States is in a position to significantly hinder Tehran's nuclear program, noting that there are still some sticking points in the talks with Tehran regarding its stockpile of enriched uranium and the issue of enrichment.

Vance continued, "It's difficult to say when the president will sign the memorandum of understanding, or even if he will sign it at all. We are still negotiating some of the wording."

He concluded, "I cannot guarantee that an agreement will be reached, but I am currently very optimistic about it."

Sources had revealed to American media that the United States and Iran reached a preliminary agreement on Thursday to extend the ceasefire and lift restrictions on navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, and that the agreement was awaiting the approval of US President Donald Trump.
