Trump provided no details on the location or signatories of the agreement. Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman, Esmail Bakaei, had previously stated that the agreement would not be signed on Sunday but rather in the coming days, indicating a discrepancy in timing.

We must wait until the exact date of signing is confirmed.

Trump asserted that Iran would not receive any funds as part of the deal. He also stated that Iran's uranium stockpiles would be salvaged and destroyed, either in Iran or the United States, once tensions have subsided. He claimed that Iran is no longer pursuing nuclear weapons, describing his deal as a "wall against nuclear weapons."

Iran is no longer pursuing a nuclear weapon. My agreement is a wall against nuclear weapons.

— Donald TrumpClaiming Iran's nuclear ambitions have ceased due to the new agreement.

Recent signs had pointed toward a potential framework agreement between the U.S. and Iran. Reuters reported that a contract might be signed by U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, possibly in Geneva.

Hopefully, this process will be quick, easy, and smooth. If not, we have the ultimate alternative, which hopefully will never have to be used again!
