  • Iran and the United States will not sign a peace agreement this weekend, according to Iran's Foreign Ministry.
  • A ministry spokesperson stated that the exact timing of the signing is still uncertain and will not occur on Sunday.
  • This statement follows President Donald Trump's earlier expectation that the agreement would be signed over the weekend.

Iran and the United States will not sign a peace agreement this weekend, as confirmed by Iran's Foreign Ministry.

Esmaeil Baqaei, a spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, informed Iranian media that while the agreement is expected in the coming days, the precise timing remains uncertain and the signing will not take place on Sunday. "We have to wait and see the exact timing of the signing; however, it will not be tomorrow," Baqaei stated.

This announcement contrasts with the earlier remarks made by U.S. President Donald Trump, who had expressed expectations for the agreement to be signed over the weekend following its announcement. Baqaei indicated that the possibility of the agreement being signed in the coming days cannot be ruled out.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had also stated on the previous day that the agreement was expected to be signed within the next few days, aligning with the ministry's latest statement. The delay suggests ongoing negotiations or final preparations are still underway before the official signing.

We have to wait and see the exact timing of the signing; however, it will not be tomorrow.
