President Donald Trump will mark his 80th birthday Sunday waiting to see whether Iran delivers the diplomatic breakthrough he predicted would come by day’s end. Trump said Saturday that a deal with Tehran could be signed Sunday, raising expectations that his birthday could coincide with a major foreign policy victory after weeks of conflict and negotiations with Iran. But Iranian officials have signaled the timeline may not move as quickly as Trump suggested, saying an agreement could come in the coming days as Iranian negotiators are still reviewing the proposed text, according to Iranian state media. Bloomberg reported that Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei had not agreed to the memorandum as of Friday.
The possible deal is expected to center on ending the war with Iran by creating an agreement between Tehran and Washington that bars Iran from ever purchasing or building a nuclear weapon. Additionally, Trump has said all “nuclear dust” will be removed from the country.
“A WALL TO NO NUCLEAR WEAPON!” Trump said of the deal on Saturday. “In fact, they no longer want a Nuclear Weapon, nor will they have one, either through purchase, development, or any other form of procurement.”
