Trump says Iran deal to be signed Sunday, Tehran disputes timeline

A proposed peace agreement between the United States and Iran has moved into its final phase. The deal is aimed

A proposed peace agreement between the United States and Iran has moved into its final phase. The deal is aimed at ending months of conflict and reducing tensions across the Gulf region. However, there is still confusion over when it will be signed and what exactly it will include.

Donald Trump said the agreement is scheduled to be signed on Sunday. He claimed that the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened immediately after the deal is signed. He also said the agreement would permanently block Iran from developing nuclear weapons. Trump described it as a stronger alternative to previous nuclear arrangements.

Iran has rejected the idea that signing will take place on Sunday. Officials from Tehran said the timeline is not confirmed. They added that discussions are still ongoing. According to them, the situation remains sensitive and subject to last-minute changes.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson said the signing of the Islamabad memorandum will not happen on Sunday. He did not rule out an agreement in the coming days. He said the final decision depends on the completion of technical and political coordination between both sides.

Shehbaz Sharif said Pakistan has played a mediating role in the process. He said both the United States and Iran have agreed on a basic framework for peace after months of conflict. He added that an initial signing could take place within the next 24 hours, followed by technical talks.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the draft agreement includes a 14-point framework. It covers a ceasefire across multiple regions. It also includes commitments to avoid future conflict and reduce tensions. He said sanctions relief and economic cooperation are also part of the proposed arrangement.

Araghchi said the agreement would be signed digitally. He explained that both sides would sign separately before a joint announcement. He said final details are still being reviewed.

One of the key issues in the talks is the Strait of Hormuz. The US side says the waterway will reopen immediately after the deal. Iran says its future management will be handled under a new structure. Tehran insists the final arrangements are still under discussion.

Officials from both sides have expressed cautious optimism. US representatives say the deal is strong and close to completion. Iranian officials, however, continue to express distrust and warn that negotiations are not yet final.

The negotiations follow weeks of rising tensions in the Gulf region. There have been drone incidents and military alerts near the Strait of Hormuz. The situation had raised fears of wider escalation.

Global markets reacted positively to the news of progress. Oil prices fell as expectations of stability increased. Investors are watching closely for any final announcement.
