US-Iran deal signing expected Sunday, but Iran casts doubt

US President Donald Trump announced an agreement to cease hostilities with Iran is scheduled for Sunday, promising an open Strait of Hormuz, though Iran questions the timeline.

US President Donald Trump announced that an agreement to cease hostilities between the United States and Iran is "scheduled to get signed" on Sunday. Trump also stated that the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial global shipping route for oil and liquefied natural gas, would become "open to all" following the deal. However, Iran has expressed skepticism regarding the proposed signing date. Pakistan, which has acted as a key mediator in the negotiations, had previously indicated that the finalization of the agreement was anticipated within 24 hours. The potential accord aims to resolve ongoing tensions between the two nations.
