U.S. and Iran to sign agreement on June 14, Strait of Hormuz to reopen - Trump

The U.S. and Iran will sign a temporary agreement on Sunday, June 14, to end the conflict and open the Strait of Hormuz to maritime traffic, President Donald Trump said on Truth Social.

"The signing of the agreement is scheduled for tomorrow and immediately afterwards the Strait of Hormuz will be OPEN FOR ALL," he wrote.

Trump said that "when things calm down," the U.S. will "take the nuclear dust" - what he called Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium. The uranium, he said, would be destroyed either in Iran or in the US. He also emphasized that Iran will not have access to the frozen money under the deal.

Pakistan, which is mediating the talks, said earlier Saturday that a peace deal could be signed remotely, followed by talks next week by technical teams on the details of implementing the deal, Bloomberg reported.

Trump has repeatedly said an agreement to end the Iran war is almost ready, but so far the U.S. and Iran have failed to resolve key differences. Moreover, this week saw the largest exchange of fire between Iran and the U.S. since April.

The main U.S. goals are to resume shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and put an end to Iran's nuclear program. In turn, Tehran insists on maintaining some control over the strait and immediate blocking of frozen assets. Iran proposes to enter negotiations on the nuclear program after the signing of an interim agreement.

The U.S. expects the agreement to guarantee that Iran has no nuclear weapons program but will allow Tehran to maintain a civilian nuclear energy program, a source among U.S. officials told Bloomberg.

He said the agreement also provides for the removal of enriched nuclear materials from Iran and an end to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz by both sides. If all conditions are met, the U.S. will ease sanctions against Iran and allow it to re-integrate into the global economy, the official said.
