  • Donald Trump claims a peace deal between Iran and the US will be signed Sunday, but Iran's Revolutionary Guard denies this.
  • Demonstrations against the alleged deal have occurred in Iran.
  • Ships remain stationary in the Strait of Hormuz amid the tensions.

Tensions in the Middle East remain high as conflicting reports emerge regarding a potential peace deal between Iran and the United States. Former US President Donald Trump stated that an agreement was set to be signed on Sunday, a claim immediately refuted by Iran's Revolutionary Guard.

The denial from the Revolutionary Guard has cast doubt on Trump's assertion, highlighting the complex and often opaque nature of diplomatic efforts in the region. Simultaneously, reports indicate that demonstrations have taken place within Iran, with citizens expressing opposition to the alleged deal, suggesting internal divisions or public apprehension regarding closer ties with the US.

Adding to the volatile situation, ships are reportedly continuing to remain stationary in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil transport. This continued disruption underscores the ongoing instability and the potential for escalation in the region, regardless of the status of any purported peace agreement.
