U.S. President Donald Trump said Wednesday he expected the accord with Iran ending the Middle East war to be signed "shortly" but cast uncertainty over the exact date.

US Vice-President JD Vance announced that Donald Trump might release a preliminary deal with Iran by Friday, describing the memorandum as a brief and general document.

President Donald Trump gave a cryptic answer Wednesday that cast doubt on Friday's planned signing ceremony for the U.S.-Iranian 60-day ceasefire deal.
