The United States and Iran are expected to sign a long-anticipated agreement on Sunday, according to statements from U.S. President Donald Trump, although Iranian officials have cautioned that the timeline remains uncertain.
In a post on Truth Social on Saturday, Trump said: “The Deal is scheduled to get signed tomorrow, and immediately after it is signed, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN TO ALL.” He added that the agreement would create “a wall to no nuclear weapon” and claimed that Iran no longer seeks to acquire nuclear arms.
Trump also said the United States looks forward to working with Iran and the wider Middle East in the future, while warning that alternative options remain available if diplomacy fails.
However, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Esmail Baghaei, struck a more cautious tone. Speaking to reporters, Baghaei said that while an agreement in the coming days remains possible, “it will not happen tomorrow,” and urged observers to exercise caution regarding the timing of any signing ceremony.
The proposed agreement, reportedly mediated with assistance from Pakistan, would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and launch further negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program and broader regional security issues. Several details remain unresolved, including the future of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile and sanctions relief.
