US President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that a peace agreement with Iran would be signed on Sunday. On his personal platform, Trump stated, “The signing of the agreement is scheduled for tomorrow, and immediately after the signing, the Strait of Hormuz will be completely open.”
The U.S. President also claimed that the nation intends to “retrieve the nuclear dust, hidden deep beneath the mighty, submerged granite mountains, and dissolve and destroy it, whether in Iran or in the United States, in due time when everything is calm.”
Trump used the occasion to criticize former President Barack Obama’s Iran deal, asserting that the new agreement would be the exact opposite of his predecessor’s. According to Trump, the Iranian regime would no longer desire nuclear weapons.
Earlier, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had indicated a potential agreement between the United States and Iran within the next 24 hours. On Saturday afternoon, Sharif posted on platform X, “We are closer to a peace agreement than ever before. Since the completion of the agreement is expected in the next 24 hours, Pakistan is preparing for the electronic signing of the peace agreement immediately thereafter.” Sharif added that technical-level talks would follow the next week.
However, a spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry promptly refuted this claim. Speaking to the state news agency Irna, the official stated that an official should wait until the exact signing date is set, clarifying that it would not be on Sunday.
