President Donald Trump said an interim deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the conflict with Iran would be signed on Sunday, even as both sides have differed on the details.
“The Deal is scheduled to get signed tomorrow, and immediately after it is signed, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN TO ALL,” Trump said in a social media post on Saturday.
Pakistan, which has served as a mediator, is preparing for the electronic signing of the peace deal, “followed by technical level talks next week,” Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, a key mediator in talks between Washington and Tehran, said earlier Saturday.
Trump also said Iran would not get any money in the deal, which was a key sticking point for Iran during negotiations mediated by Pakistan.
Trump said the US would “go in and get the Nuclear Dust,” his term for the Islamic Republic’s highly enriched uranium, when the other components of the deal were settled and would destroy it either in Iran or the US.
