President Donald Trump, bypassing traditional diplomatic channels and posting on his Truth Social account, claimed that a deal with Iran to end the conflict is scheduled for signing on Sunday, with the Strait of Hormuz to be 'open to all' immediately after. Trump, eager to tout a foreign policy victory, asserted that the agreement would be finalized the next day, despite ongoing complexities.
Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson, Esmaeil Baqaei, pushed back earlier on Saturday, making it clear that a signing date had not yet been set and that it would not happen the following day. Baqaei’s statement underscores the reality that Trump’s announcement is more about political grandstanding than genuine diplomacy, though he did not rule out a signing in the coming days.
Both sides and mediators, who have struggled to overcome weeks of stalled negotiations, now suggest that a conclusion may be near. However, the Trump administration’s pattern of unilateral declarations continues to undermine multilateral efforts for a just and lasting peace.
