U.S. President Donald Trump said Saturday that an agreement with Iran is scheduled to be signed Sunday, potentially marking the culmination of months of negotiations that repeatedly veered between threats of military action and promises of a diplomatic breakthrough.
“The Deal is scheduled to get signed tomorrow,” the president wrote on Truth Social, adding that the Strait of Hormuz would be “OPEN TO ALL” immediately following the signing of the deal.
Iran has not confirmed a deal has been reached, but Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Friday that a deal “has never been closer.” Iranian state-run media has at times described any possible deal as more of a 60-day extension of a ceasefire so both parties can continue negotiations and not a final end to the conflict.
Trump offered few new details about the contents of the agreement, but he said it would prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon “through purchase, development, or any other form of procurement.” He also said the United States would eventually remove and destroy Iran’s remaining nuclear material, which he described as “Nuclear Dust.”
