09:58 Min

The US and Iran are set to resume technical talks next week to flesh out the details and implementation of an initial ceasefire agreement and move towards a more-lasting deal. Tehran's chief negotiator has hailed the Memorandum of Understanding signed a week ago as a declaration by America of defeat. Dispute on several points could still unravel any peace deal, including who should manage the Strait of Hormuz post-war and the charging of tolls. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has rejected any suggestion that Tehran could impose transit fees. Blake Sifton reports from Tel Aviv and Allister D'Souza reports from Washington DC.
