Trump says Iran peace deal will be signed TOMORROW as he declares Strait of Hormuz will reopen immediately after months of global chaos
Donald Trump announced that a peace agreement will be signed tomorrow between the USA and Iran in order to end months of conflict and global instability.
The President said the Strait of Hormuz would be ‘open to everyone’ if an agreement was reached on Sunday.
The vital waterway has been virtually blockaded since the US killed Iran’s Supreme Leader on February 28 in targeted attacks that sparked the war.
The signing of the peace agreement will coincide with Trump’s 80th birthday and his UFC event at the White House.
The president shared the latest update on Truth Social on Saturday afternoon.
The agreement is scheduled to be signed tomorrow, and immediately after it is signed, the Strait of Hormuz will be OPEN TO EVERYONE. The Commander-in-Chief wrote that our relations with Iran are much different and better than those of previous administrations.
However, Iran disputed the timeline, with foreign ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei saying the deal would not be signed on Sunday but ‘could happen in the coming days’.
He told Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB that the country was determined to end the war on all fronts and that once an agreement was reached, talks on its nuclear capabilities would take place within a 60-day period.
President Donald Trump announced that the peace agreement between the United States and Iran will be signed tomorrow, after which the Strait of Hormuz will be reopened immediately.
The Strait of Hormuz is a vital global waterway that has been caught in the middle of conflict between the United States and Iran since the start of war in February.
According to the New York Times, if the agreement is signed on Sunday, it will likely be done electronically.
While it is extremely rare for diplomatic engagements to be held virtually, Trump is expected to be in Washington D.C. on Sunday and celebrate his birthday with a UFC fight in front of the White House.
In his update on Saturday, the president harshly criticized former President Barack Obama, saying his administration’s deal was the “exact opposite” of his and that the Middle Eastern country “no longer wants nuclear weapons.”
‘Unlike the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in payments Obama made to them, including $1.7 Billion in green cash, no money will change hands.
‘At the appropriate time, when all is calm, thanks to our beautiful B-2 Bombers and their brilliant pilots, we will retrieve the Nuclear Dust buried deep within the mighty submerged granite mountains and smash and destroy it, whether in Iran or the USA.
‘We look forward to working with Iran and the entire Middle East for the long future.
‘I hope this process will be completed quickly, easily and smoothly. If not, we have an ultimate alternative that we hope will never be used again!’ He concluded.
The president’s latest comment about the war in Iran comes just days after he was outraged that leaders in Iran’s capital, Tehran, had leaked a copy of the upcoming peace deal.
Trump reportedly sidelined Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as deal nears finish line
Trump signaled on Thursday that Iran had agreed to a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that would extend the ongoing ceasefire by 60 days; During this time, the two sides can negotiate the future of Iran’s nuclear program and other details.
The MoU addresses Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium and reportedly discusses multibillion-dollar sanctions relief. “We haven’t reached the finish line yet, but we’re very close,” a senior White House official said of the Memorandum of Understanding on Friday.
But on Friday the President lashed out on social media, saying the leaked terms had ‘nothing to do with the agreed terms’.
“The terms Iran leaked to Fake News have nothing to do with the terms agreed to in writing,” Trump wrote. ‘What he said, including his weak and pathetic statements about getting the deal, has nothing to do with reality.’
‘We are dealing with very dishonorable people. There’s no such thing as doing business with them in good faith.’
Trump also said Iran’s drone attack on Indian ships leaving the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday evening was “completely unacceptable.”
As the deal approached the finish line, Trump reportedly sidelined Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Smoke rises from the site of an Israeli airstrike targeting the village of Kfar Tibnit in southern Lebanon on Saturday.
