US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that a deal with Iran was set to be signed on Sunday, likely marking the culmination of months of negotiations that have frequently veered between threats of military action and promises of diplomatic breakthroughs.
“The agreement is scheduled to be signed tomorrow,” the president wrote on Truth Social, adding that the Strait of Hormuz will be “OPEN TO ALL” immediately after the agreement is signed.
Iran has not confirmed that an agreement has been reached, but IranForeign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Fridaythat the deal “has never been closer.” Iran’s state-run media has at times described any possible deal asbeyond the 60-day extension of the ceasefireso both sides can continue to negotiate and it is not the end of the conflict.
Trump offered few new details about the deal’s contents, but said it would prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon “through acquisition, development, or any other form of acquisition.” He also said the United States would eventually remove and destroy Iran’s remaining nuclear material, which he referred to as “Nuclear Dust.”
