Deal Nears, but Iran Questions Signing Timeline

Trump said a U.S.–Iran peace deal would be signed soon, reopening the Strait of Hormuz and extending a 60-day ceasefire to allow talks on Iran’s nuclear program, while Iran’s foreign ministry cautioned that Sunday signing is unlikely and the agreement could come in the coming days. The framework would lift the U.S. blockade, facilitate 60 days of negotiations, and cover sanctions relief and nuclear talks, with Pakistan and Qatar mediating. The situation remains fragile amid protests in Iran and ongoing fighting in Lebanon, and no text has been released yet.
