Donald Trump Announces Historic Agreement with Iran to be Signed on Sunday
US President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that an agreement with Iran is set to be signed on Sunday, potentially ending months of negotiations marked by threats of military action and promises of a diplomatic breakthrough.
In a social media post, Trump stated that the Strait of Hormuz would be "open to all" immediately after the deal is signed. However, Iran has not publicly confirmed the timeline, with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi saying only that a deal "has never been closer."
According to Trump, the agreement would prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and the US would eventually remove and destroy Iran's remaining nuclear material. The announcement comes after a tumultuous week of diplomacy and sporadic conflict, during which Trump called off planned strikes on Iran and later criticized Iranian interlocutors as "very dishonorable people to deal with."
The past three and a half months have seen Tehran block the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global trade, leading to a surge in energy prices. The impending deal, if signed, would mark a significant breakthrough in relations between the two countries since Israel and the US launched strikes on Iran in late February.
