President Trump said Saturday that a new framework for a peace agreement with Iran is expected to be signed Sunday, marking what could become a significant development in relations between Washington and Tehran after months of heightened tensions.
In a series of posts on Truth Social, Trump confirmed that negotiations have reached a critical stage and indicated that a formal agreement could be finalized within hours.
“The Deal is scheduled to get signed tomorrow,” Trump wrote Saturday afternoon, adding, “Our relationship with Iran is a much different and better one than previous Administrations have had.”
The announcement comes as Pakistan, which has been serving as a mediator in the talks, also expressed optimism about the timeline. Pakistani officials said earlier that an agreement was expected to be finalized “in the next 24 hours.”
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif echoed that outlook, saying preparations are underway for the signing of the agreement. Following the signing, he said “technical level talks” are expected to begin next week.
“We are confident that this historic peace deal will form a strong foundation for lasting peace,” Sharif wrote.
Despite the optimism expressed by both Washington and Islamabad, uncertainty remains regarding the exact timing of the agreement. Iranian officials offered a more cautious assessment of the negotiations.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei told Iran’s Tasnim News Agency that the signing would “not be tomorrow,” according to Reuters.
“The possibility that it will happen in the coming days is not ruled out,” Baghaei said. “However, due to the other party’s instability, we must be cautious about any statements regarding this process.”
The differing timelines underscore the challenges that have accompanied negotiations between the United States and Iran. While all parties appear to acknowledge ongoing diplomatic progress, public statements suggest that final details may still be under discussion.
Trump also used his social media posts to emphasize the potential economic impact of the agreement. He said the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important oil shipping routes, would reopen “immediately” after the agreement is signed.
The waterway has remained closed during the conflict, disrupting a key corridor for global energy shipments. Reopening the strait could have significant implications for international oil markets and regional commerce.
In addition to outlining the expected framework, Trump contrasted the proposed agreement with the Iran nuclear deal negotiated during former President Barack Obama’s administration. Trump sharply criticized the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), claiming it was “an easy, beautiful, smooth road to a Nuclear Weapon.”
“My Agreement with Iran is the exact opposite, A WALL TO NO NUCLEAR WEAPON!” Trump wrote, adding that Tehran “no longer want[s] a Nuclear Weapon.”
The president also addressed reports that the agreement could include financial assistance for Iran’s reconstruction efforts. Trump rejected those claims and insisted that no direct payments would be involved.
“No money will exchange hands” as part of the deal, he said, responding to leaked reports from Iranian officials suggesting the agreement included provisions for a rebuilding fund.
Trump further discussed the future handling of Iran’s nuclear materials, saying, “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.”
The president concluded his remarks by expressing optimism about future relations in the region.
“Hopefully, this process will all work out quickly, easily, and smoothly,” he wrote. “If it doesn’t, we have the ultimate alternative, hopefully never to be used again!”
