US President Donald Trump has announced that the United States and Iran are scheduled to sign a peace agreement today (June 14). However, Iranian officials have publicly disputed this timeline, casting doubt on whether a Sunday signing will take place.
Posting on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump stated that once the agreement takes effect, the Strait of Hormuz—a critical waterway for global trade—will immediately be "open to all." Addressing Iran's enriched uranium stockpile, Trump added that at an appropriate, calmer time, the US will retrieve and destroy Iran's "nuclear dust."
Pakistan, acting as the primary mediator in the negotiations, backed the US timeline. Pakistani officials indicated the agreement is likely to be finalized within 24 hours and confirmed they are preparing for an "electronic signature."
Despite optimism from Washington and Islamabad, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei urged caution. On Saturday, Baghaei stated, "We will have to wait to know the exact date for signing the memorandum of understanding, but it will not be tomorrow."
While the conflicting statements leave the exact timing uncertain, all parties suggest a breakthrough agreement to end the conflict is nearing completion.
