UMVA has learned that a highly anticipated US-Iran peace deal is expected to be signed today, according to a vow made by US President Donald Trump.
The eyes of the world are fixed on the development, as Trump claimed the agreement would bring an end to the Middle East conflict and immediately open the vital Strait of Hormuz 'to all'. The framework is also intended to act as a 'wall' against the Islamic Regime acquiring nuclear weapons.
Pakistan, a key mediator in the negotiations, has expressed optimism about the deal, stating that an 'electronic signing' is expected within 24 hours. This would coincide with Trump's 80th birthday, adding a sense of significance to the event.
However, Tehran has cast doubt on Trump's timeline, with the Iranian foreign ministry suggesting that an end to the conflict is more likely 'in the coming days'. The country's Fars news agency also reported that officials are still reviewing the proposals, focusing on the political, legal, and technical dimensions.
In a sign of growing momentum towards a deal, Qatari negotiators flew to Tehran on Sunday morning to try to finalize the process. Trump wrote on social media that 'The Deal is scheduled to get signed tomorrow, and immediately after it is signed, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN TO ALL.'
The US leader also referenced Iran's enriched uranium stockpiles, stating that his agreement would be a 'A WALL TO NO NUCLEAR WEAPON!' He added that Iran 'no longer wants a Nuclear Weapon, nor will they have one, either through purchase, development, or any other form of procurement.'
The Prime Minister of Pakistan, Shehbaz Sharif, echoed Trump's optimism, stating that the world is 'closer to a peace deal than ever before'. He expressed gratitude to the US and Iran for their commitment during the negotiations and extended appreciation to regional supporters.
The conflict between the US and Iran began on February 28, following American and Israeli strikes that assassinated Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and heavily degraded Iran's military capabilities. Despite a ceasefire in April, both sides have continued to clash in recent days.
The US has maintained a blockade on Iran, aiming to loosen Tehran's control of the Strait of Hormuz, which was previously a crucial pathway for 20% of the world's oil shipments. Israel, not part of the US-Iran deal, has vowed to continue attacking Hezbollah after the military group targeted northern Israel.
