US President Donald Trump announced on Saturday, June 13, 2026, that a peace agreement with Iran was slated for signing the following day, Sunday. Trump stated that the deal would immediately reopen the vital Strait of Hormuz to all shipping and claimed that Iran had ceased its pursuit of nuclear weapons.
However, Iran's Foreign Ministry cast doubt on the immediate timeline, with a spokesperson indicating on Saturday that the signing would "not be tomorrow" but could potentially occur in the near future. Mediator Pakistan, conversely, remained optimistic, suggesting the deal was expected to be finalized within 24 hours and that preparations for an electronic signing were underway.
This prospective agreement aims to extend a fragile ceasefire and end months of hostilities between the two nations. Discussions reportedly involve addressing Iran's nuclear program and the potential for sanctions relief.
