President Trump has said a deal to end the war with Iran is scheduled to be signed on Sunday and that the Strait of Hormuz would be immediately “open to all”. After American and Iranian officials and Pakistani mediators indicated throughout Saturday that an agreement was close, Trump declared last night that his administration looked “forward to working with Iran, and the entire Middle East, long into the future”.

However, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps later said that the agreement, which is being framed as a memorandum of understanding, had “not yet been finalised”. Earlier on Saturday, the Iranian foreign ministry said the signing would happen in the “coming days”.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said: “The Deal is scheduled to get signed tomorrow, and immediately after it is signed, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN TO ALL. Our relationship with Iran is a much different and better one than previous Administrations have had.” He also threatened significant repercussions if the final negotiations failed.

“Hopefully, this process will all work out quickly, easily, and smoothly. If it doesn’t, we have the ultimate alternative, hopefully never to be used again,” he said. The details of the agreement have not been released. But Trump indicated that America would enter Iran and seize the regime’s “Nuclear Dust, buried deep under the powerful sunken granite mountains”.
