Trump Claims US-Iran Peace Deal Signing To Take Place Today
US President Donald Trump said a US-Iran peace deal would be signed on June 14. Iran quickly disputed that timeline, saying no date had been fixed. The proposed agreement could reopen the Strait of Hormuz and ease a conflict that has shaken energy markets.
Trump said the pact would allow global shipping to resume through the strait. He also claimed ties with Iran were better than under earlier US administrations. Tehran, however, said a signing on June 14 was unlikely, despite ongoing talks.

US-Iran peace deal faces timeline dispute
"We look forward to working with Iran, and the entire Middle East, long into the future. Hopefully, this process will all work out quickly, easily, and smoothly," Trump wrote on Truth Social. He said the agreement would stop Iran from getting nuclear arms.
Trump described the plan as placing a "wall to no nuclear weapon." He added, "In fact, they no longer want a nuclear weapon, nor will they have one, either through purchase, development, or any other form of procurement."
Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also backed the hopeful message from Washington. "We are closer to a peace deal than ever before. With finalisation likely expected in the next 24 hours, Pakistan is preparing for the electronic signing of the peace deal immediately after, followed by technical-level talks next week," he wrote on X.
Sharif thanked the United States and Iran for staying engaged in the process. He said the agreement could support long-term peace and stability across the region. Senior officials in Tehran, however, rejected the suggested schedule and said no signing time had been agreed.
US-Iran peace deal includes nuclear and shipping terms
The proposed US-Iran memorandum of understanding covers more than a ceasefire. Axios reported that it includes sanctions relief, access to frozen funds, the Strait of Hormuz reopening, and a structure for future nuclear talks.
| Area | Key provision |
|---|---|
| US concessions | The US would ease sanctions and allow limited Iranian oil exports. |
| Frozen assets | Iran may get access to funds under compliance-based conditions. |
| Nuclear commitments | Iran would pledge not to seek nuclear weapons. |
| Ceasefire | A 60-day truce could be extended by mutual agreement. |
| Strait of Hormuz | Iran would ensure free passage and normal shipping activity. |
Trump also compared the plan with the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement. "Unlike Obama's hundreds of billions of dollars in payments to them, including $1.7 billion in green, cold cash, no money will exchange hands," he claimed.
The 2015 agreement required Tehran to limit its nuclear programme in return for sanctions relief. The money Trump cited was not part of that deal. It related to settlement of a pre-1979 military contract between both countries.
US-Iran peace deal follows weeks of conflict
On June 12, Trump said at the White House that the US had "just made a great settlement of the war with Iran". He told reporters, "We're going to be subject to finalisation of documents. It should get done over the next few days."
A day later, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said both sides had "never been closer" to an agreement. Trump then re-shared Araghchi's post on Truth Social. He also cancelled a planned military strike on Iran that he had earlier threatened.
The war began on February 28, when the United States and Israel attacked Iran. The operation targeted Islamic Republic leaders, military sites, and nuclear facilities. The strikes killed Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, and deepened regional instability.
The conflict also caused a global energy crisis after the Strait of Hormuz was closed. Nearly five weeks later, the United States and Iran reached a tense ceasefire. They then began talks aimed at a longer settlement.
Pakistan said it helped mediate by hosting the first direct US-Iran talks since 1979. No agreement was reached in Islamabad. Both sides accused each other of moving demands and breaching the ceasefire terms.
The truce has largely remained in place, though serious issues remain unresolved. These include the US blockade of Iranian ports and the continued closure of the strait. Trump also warned of an "ultimate alternative" if diplomacy fails.
The proposed deal now rests on whether Washington and Tehran can settle final terms. Trump has projected confidence, while Iran has resisted a fixed signing date. The Strait of Hormuz, sanctions relief, and nuclear limits remain central to the talks.
