Tehran, however, denied that an agreement to end the conflict would be reached by June 14
The peace agreement between the United States and Iran will be signed on Sunday, June 14, President Donald Trump announced in a Social Fact post. Tehran has previously denied that a deal could be reached on that date, while not ruling out a deal “in the future.”
The two countries have been in talks mediated by Pakistan for more than two months following an accord reached in early April. The talks came after the military campaign launched by the US and Israel against Iran at the end of February. Tehran responded with attacks on Gulf states hosting US military bases and by closing the Strait of Hormuz, which normally handles about a quarter of the world’s oil and LNG trade.
“The agreement is scheduled to be signed tomorrow, and immediately after it is signed, the Strait of Hormuz IS OPEN TO ALL,” Trump wrote on Saturday.
He added that the agreement will prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons “either through purchase, development, or any other form of acquisition.” Tehran has repeatedly denied seeking nuclear weapons, insisting that its nuclear program is entirely peaceful.
Trump said so “No money will change hands,” meaning that the United States will not block Iranian assets. He also said that “at the right time” The United States would possess Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium in order to “destroy it and destroy it, whether in Iran, or the United States.”
Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also said on Saturday that the completion of the agreement is “expected in the next 24 hours.”
The spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran, Esmail Baghaei, however, said early Saturday that the signing of the agreement. “it won’t happen tomorrow.”
“The possibility that it could happen in the future cannot be ruled out,” Baghaei said. He said that the reconciliation agreement currently being prepared will only aim to end the conflict between the United States and Iran and that. “The nuclear issue will not be addressed.”
Baghaei previously said that the deal would give the two sides 60 days to discuss the future of Iran’s nuclear program. He also said that the agreement will include the cessation of Israeli operations in Lebanon.
The Iranian diplomat accused Israel of trying to derail the deal.
“We do not deal with actors who are fully committed to their roles. They use every opportunity to break their promises,” he said.
