President Donald Trump announced Saturday that a deal to end the Middle East war is scheduled for signing on Sunday, immediately followed by the opening of the strategic Strait of Hormuz to all traffic. He posted the announcement on his Truth Social platform.
The Deal is scheduled to get signed tomorrow, and immediately after it is signed, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN TO ALL.
Trump also stated that the United States would take possession of and destroy Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium, referring to it as "Nuclear Dust." He expressed optimism for future cooperation with Iran and the entire Middle East, but also issued a warning about serious consequences if the plan is not fully implemented.
At the appropriate time, when all is calm, we will go in and get the Nuclear Dust, buried deep under the powerful sunken granite mountains, thanks to our beautiful B-2 Bombers and their brilliant pilots, and downblend and destroy it, whether in Iran, or the United States.
However, Trump's announcement contrasted with reports from Iran's state media, which cited the foreign ministry indicating the deal would not be signed on Sunday. The article does not detail the specific terms of the deal or the nature of the conflict it aims to resolve, beyond the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and the uranium stockpile issue.
We look forward to working with Iran, and the entire Middle East, long into the future.
