President Donald Trump said an interim deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the conflict with Iran would be signed on Sunday, a claim contradicted by Iran as the two sides still differ over key points, including management of the waterway and payments to the Islamic Republic.
¡°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, while claiming that Iran ¡°no longer wants a Nuclear weapon.¡±
Pakistan, which has served as a mediator, is preparing for an electronic signing of the peace deal, ¡°followed by technical-level talks next week,¡± Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said. Those talks would last up to 60 days and focus on Iran¡¯s nuclear program.
