Trump says U.S. and Iran will sign a peace deal on Sunday
Source: Yahoo news
President Trump said Saturday that the United States and Iran will sign a peace deal on Sunday.
In a Truth Social post, Trump said Iran had agreed to give up its pursuit of a nuclear weapon "through purchase, development, or any other form of procurement," and that the Strait of Hormuz, the chokepoint through which roughly a fifth of the world's oil flows, would reopen the moment the deal is signed.
"The Deal is scheduled to get signed tomorrow, and immediately after it is signed, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN TO ALL," Trump wrote.

Iran has yet to publicly confirm the signing. The state-affiliated Fars news agency cited a source close to Tehran's negotiating team on Friday, calling claims of an imminent Sunday signing in Geneva "completely false." On Saturday, an Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson told state media that Iran's negotiators had no travel plans for Geneva or any other location in the coming days, Reuters reported. Tehran has also pushed for the deal to extend to a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, Iran's proxy in Lebanon a point Trump did not address in his Saturday post. An Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson went further Saturday, telling state media that the country's negotiating team was not planning to travel to Geneva or anywhere else in the coming days, Reuters reported.
