Trump says Iran deal to be signed tomorrow, contradicting Iranian official

President Donald Trump announced on his Truth Social account Saturday that an initial agreement to end the US-Israeli war with Iran is "scheduled to get signed tomorrow." Trump stated the deal would immediately open the Strait of Hormuz to all traffic and serve as "A WALL TO NO NUCLEAR WEAPON!" He also claimed no money would exchange hands and that the US would retrieve Iran's enriched uranium stockpile at an appropriate time.

The Deal is scheduled to get signed tomorrow, and immediately after it is signed, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN TO ALL.

However, Trump's announcement directly contradicted a statement from Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei. According to Iran's IRNA news agency, Baghaei said a memorandum of understanding would not be signed Sunday and that negotiators were not planning immediate travel to Geneva. He indicated a signing could occur "in the coming days."

A WALL TO NO NUCLEAR WEAPON!

This divergence highlights the ongoing tension in negotiations, even as both the US and Iran have broadly signaled that a deal was closer than ever. No terms have been officially released, and officials from both countries stressed on Friday that the agreement had not been finalized. The latest diplomatic efforts follow two days of US and Iran trading strikes, which threatened to end a pause in fighting that had persisted since April 8.
