Trump Says US-Iran Deal Will Be Signed Sunday — Iran Says "Not Tomorrow"
*This is a developing story. The deal has not yet been signed. Details are based on public statements as of Saturday, June 14, 2026.*
President Donald Trump said Saturday that a peace agreement with Iran is "scheduled to get signed tomorrow" — Sunday, June 15 — and that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen to all shipping immediately after the signing.
"The Deal is scheduled to get signed tomorrow, and immediately after it is signed, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN TO ALL," Trump wrote on Truth Social on Saturday afternoon, adding that the US would work with Iran to remove enriched uranium from the country at an undetermined date.
Iran's foreign ministry told a different story within hours.
Iran and the US Are Still Not Aligned on the Timeline
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei told state media Saturday that the signing would "not be tomorrow."
"The possibility that it will happen in the coming days is not ruled out," Baghaei said, according to Reuters. "However, due to the other party's instability, we must be cautious about any statements regarding this process."
The divergence between Trump's public post and Iran's official spokesperson statement is significant. It follows a pattern that has played out multiple times during these negotiations — the two sides periodically release conflicting accounts of what has been agreed and when, creating uncertainty for markets and allies watching closely.
Al Jazeera reported that Iranian state media had earlier on Friday published what it described as draft deal terms — a 14-point document including provisions that Trump's team disputed, including a reported $24 billion release of frozen Iranian assets and a requirement for US allies to commit to a $300 billion Iranian reconstruction plan. The White House did not confirm those terms.

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif offered a more optimistic reading on Saturday, saying the US and Iran are "closer to a peace deal than ever before" and indicating a finalisation within 24 hours with "technical level talks next week."
Trump reposted Sharif's comments on Truth Social.
Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar also confirmed he had discussed the impending agreement with relevant parties, reinforcing Islamabad's role as one of the primary diplomatic intermediaries in the negotiations alongside Qatar.
Bloomberg reported Friday, citing people familiar with the plans, that the deal could be signed in Switzerland as soon as Sunday — consistent with Trump's Saturday post. Trump and other world leaders are set to gather for the G7 summit next week in Évian-les-Bains, on France's eastern border with Switzerland, making the geographic proximity of a Swiss signing venue logistically coherent.

What Trump Said About Iran's Nuclear Programme
Trump's Saturday post also directly addressed the nuclear question — and took aim at the Obama-era JCPOA.
"My Agreement with Iran is the exact opposite [of the JCPOA], A WALL TO NO NUCLEAR WEAPON!" he wrote, claiming Tehran "no longer want[s] a Nuclear Weapon" and adding that the US would work with Iran to remove enriched uranium at an undetermined future date.
According to CNBC, the deal framework — as described by the two sides — would end the war "across all regional fronts" in a first phase, followed by nuclear negotiations during a 60-day second phase. Iran currently holds 440.9 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60% purity, a short technical step from the 90% weapons-grade threshold.
Trump's post concluded with what CBS News described as a veiled warning: "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!"

What Happens If the Signing Occurs Sunday
The immediate consequence of a signed agreement, per Trump's post, would be the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz — through which approximately 20% of global oil trade flows.
Oil markets have already moved significantly on prior ceasefire optimism. A confirmed signing would be expected to push crude prices lower, providing relief for consumers and industrial supply chains that have been absorbing elevated energy costs throughout the 2026 conflict.
Under the framework as described, sanctions relief for Iran would be performance-based — tied to compliance rather than released automatically at signing. No upfront cash would be transferred, per earlier US official statements.
The G7 gathering next week in France adds diplomatic context: a Sunday signing in Switzerland — if it occurs — would position Trump to arrive at the G7 with one of the most significant foreign policy announcements of his second term already in hand.
Whether Sunday's signing happens or whether it slips into the "coming days" Iran's foreign ministry suggested depends on whether the two sides can resolve the remaining procedural and textual disputes before tomorrow's proposed deadline.
