Trump Announces US-Iran Peace Deal Signing Sunday: Strait of Hormuz to Reopen Immediately | 17GEN4 News
Washington, D.C. / Tehran – June 13, 2026
President Donald Trump declared on Saturday that a long-sought agreement with Iran to end months of conflict is “scheduled to get signed tomorrow,” with the critical Strait of Hormuz set to open to all shipping right after the signing. In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated: “The Deal is scheduled to get signed tomorrow, and immediately after it is signed, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN TO ALL.” He framed the agreement as a major departure from the Obama-era nuclear deal, emphasizing that it would permanently prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon “through purchase, development, or any other form of procurement.” Trump added that the U.S. would “eventually remove and destroy” Iran’s remaining nuclear material — which he referred to as “Nuclear Dust” — once the situation calmed.
The announcement comes after Iran submitted a draft agreement on June 11, prompting Trump to signal that a time and place in Europe would be announced for the signing. It follows a volatile period of U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iranian targets (including nuclear sites), Iranian retaliation, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Tehran, a fragile April 2026 ceasefire, and intense behind-the-scenes negotiations mediated by Pakistan, Oman, and others.
According to reports and statements from both sides, the emerging deal — often described as a memorandum of understanding (MOU) or framework to end the war — includes:
Immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz (through which roughly 20% of global oil and gas trade passes) to all commercial shipping.
Strong safeguards to ensure Iran cannot develop or acquire nuclear weapons.
Removal and destruction of Iran’s existing enriched uranium stockpiles.
No upfront cash payments or sanctions relief to Iran until full compliance (a key contrast to the 2015 JCPOA).
Potential further talks on Iran’s broader nuclear program.
Trump has repeatedly highlighted that the U.S.-Iran relationship under this deal would be “much different and better” than under previous administrations. If the process collapses, he warned of an “ultimate alternative.
”Vice President JD Vance has been mentioned in connection with potential attendance at a signing ceremony. Earlier comments from Trump suggested the event would “probably” take place in Europe, with Geneva, Switzerland, floated in some diplomatic circles as a possible venue. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif indicated finalization could occur within 24 hours, with preparations for electronic signing.
Iran has not confirmed the Sunday timeline. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei stated that the signing would not occur tomorrow but “could take place in the coming days.” Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has described a deal as “closer than ever,” noting elements such as ending related conflicts (including Israel-Hezbollah), reopening the Strait, and lifting the U.S. naval blockade — while indicating that deeper nuclear discussions would follow later.
Iranian state media has portrayed any agreement more as a 60-day extension of negotiations rather than a final resolution. Some reports suggest internal divisions in Tehran and lingering disputes over verification, sanctions relief sequencing, and security guarantees.
U.S.-Iran talks began in earnest in April 2025 in Muscat, Oman, with further rounds in Rome, Geneva, and Islamabad. A 60-day deadline set by Trump passed without full agreement, leading to escalated strikes in early 2026. Iran’s closure of the Strait triggered global energy price spikes. A temporary ceasefire was announced in April 2026, but tensions and limited strikes continued into June.
The current push represents the most advanced stage yet in efforts to de-escalate a conflict that has involved direct U.S. involvement, Israeli operations, and proxy dynamics.
As of Saturday evening (June 13), the world is watching for confirmation from Tehran and any announcement of the exact time, location, or signatories for Sunday’s planned signing. Markets are already reacting to the prospect of reopened energy routes and reduced Middle East risk.Trump’s team has portrayed this as a potential historic diplomatic win achieved through “peace through strength.” Skeptics note the repeated near-misses in prior rounds and Iran’s cautious public stance.
