Trump says Iran peace deal could be signed by Sunday, with strait of Hormuz to open shortly after

US president says in online post he reserves ‘ultimate alternative’ if Tehran refuses to sign agreement

Donald Trump said on Saturday that the US is set to sign a new agreement with Iran the following day, claiming that the deal would prevent Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, as well as reopen the strait of Hormuz to international shipping.

In a Truth Social post, Trump said that Iran “no longer want a Nuclear Weapon, nor will they have one, either through purchase, development, or any other form of procurement”.
