On April 15, according to a report by AXIOS, two U.S. officials stated that U.S. and Iranian negotiators made progress during talks on Tuesday, moving towards a framework agreement to end the war. One U.S. official mentioned that the Trump negotiation team (including Vice President Pence, Middle East envoy Hook, and senior advisor Kushner) continues to communicate with Iran and mediators, exchanging drafts and is 'close to the goal.' A third official noted, 'We want to reach an agreement, and some in Iran also want it; the key is to get the entire Iranian government to agree.' Sources indicated that if a framework agreement is reached, a ceasefire extension would be necessary to negotiate the details. 'The details are complex and cannot be completed in two days,' one official said. Another official stated that the U.S. has not yet formally agreed to extend the ceasefire, and both sides are still in ongoing contact.
