President Donald Trump stated that a deal to end fighting between the United States and Iran is scheduled to be signed on Sunday. In a social media post, Trump said the Strait of Hormuz would be “open to all” once the agreement is finalized. He also stated that the U.S. Would eventually obtain and destroy Iran’s “Nuclear Dust,” referring to enriched uranium stockpiles. Trump warned that Washington has an “ultimate alternative” if the situation does not resolve quickly and smoothly. Tehran has expressed skepticism regarding the Sunday timeline. Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei stated that the exact date of the signing of the memorandum of understanding is yet to be seen and that it will not be tomorrow. However, Al Jazeera reported that while Tehran rejected the specific timeline, it indicated the signing could occur in the “coming days.” Pakistan, acting as a key mediator, reported that the deal is expected to be finalized within 24 hours and that they are preparing for an electronic signing. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif stated that the parties are closer to a peace deal than ever before. Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi previously indicated that a deal was close, which would include reopening the Strait of Hormuz and lifting a U.S. Blockade on Iranian ports. Araghchi noted that the agreement would involve ending the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, though some previous U.S. Reports suggested Lebanon might not be included. U.S. Officials confirmed that economic benefits for Iran would depend on Tehran meeting its obligations. The agreement is expected to involve the destruction and removal of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpiles, though technical details remain being worked out. The conflict began on February 28 with U.S. And Israeli strikes across Iran, leading to Iranian attacks on Israel and U.S.-allied states in the Gulf and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Despite a ceasefire in April, the two nations have exchanged intermittent fire, including two rounds of strikes this week.
