Washington: US President Donald Trump has indicated that a formal agreement aimed at ending tensions between the United States and Iran is expected to be signed on Sunday, a development that could mark a significant shift in the security landscape of the Middle East.
In a statement shared on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump claimed that the proposed agreement would be followed by the immediate reopening of the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s busiest energy shipping routes.
“The deal is scheduled to be signed tomorrow, and once that happens, the Strait of Hormuz will be open to all,” Trump wrote, projecting confidence that negotiations had reached their final stage.
The announcement came shortly after Pakistan suggested that diplomatic discussions between Washington and Tehran were nearing completion. According to reports, officials familiar with the talks indicated that an electronic signing ceremony could take place on Sunday.
If finalised, the agreement could help ease months of geopolitical uncertainty that has affected regional stability and global energy markets. The Strait of Hormuz, through which a substantial share of the world’s oil exports passes, has remained at the centre of international concern due to repeated military tensions.
Despite the optimistic statements from Washington and Islamabad, Iranian authorities have not yet publicly confirmed the proposed timeline or acknowledged that a formal agreement is imminent.
Observers believe any breakthrough could have far-reaching implications for international trade, maritime security and diplomatic relations across the Gulf region. Markets and global stakeholders are closely monitoring developments, awaiting official confirmation from all parties involved.
While negotiations appear to have entered a decisive phase, the success of the proposed accord will ultimately depend on mutual acceptance and implementation by both sides. Until then, the anticipated agreement remains subject to formal approval and official announcements from the participating governments.
