Trump says Iran deal will be signed Sunday, Strait of Hormuz to open immediately after
- President Donald Trump declared on Truth Social that a landmark preliminary peace deal is scheduled to be signed Sunday, paving the way to immediately end the naval blockade and fully revive regional maritime trade.
- "The Deal is scheduled to get signed tomorrow, and immediately after it is signed, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN TO ALL," Trump announced on Saturday, projecting immense confidence that the strategic choke point will be unblocked.
- The White House's rapid timeline directly conflicts with statements from Tehran, as Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson publicly countered that a formal signing would likely not occur on Sunday, indicating that text adjustments are still underway.
- Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, acting as a key mediator, mirrored Trump's optimism, stating that an agreement to end the war is closer than ever and "likely expected in the next 24 hours," with technical-level talks slated for next week.
- The diplomatic breakthrough faces severe skepticism on the ground, following a Friday night flashpoint where U.S. forces had to shoot down several Iranian attack drones targeting commercial ships transiting the still-volatile Strait.

We wouldn't bet money on it, but the US and Iran seem to be nearing a deal this weekend. A “very good agreement,” according to President Trump, which he would—it seems—like to sign today on his 80th birthday. Haste makes waste, and so Professor David Criekemans (UAntwerp) is also far from convinced that peace in the Middle East is near. “Trump is making enormous concessions.”
