Trump says deal to end Iran war will be signed Sunday, as Iran disagrees on timing

Progress toward a peace deal to end the Iran war appeared to mount on Saturday, with Pakistan and the United States signaling an agreement could be reached as soon as Sunday, though Iran voiced skepticism. President Trump asserted on Truth Social that the deal was scheduled to be signed on Sunday and that Hormuz would open soon after, while Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said a final pact would not be tomorrow, but possible in coming days. Pakistan’s prime minister Shehbaz Sharif said progress was closer than ever, with electronic signing and next-week technical talks anticipated. Focus has shifted to demining the Strait of Hormuz, a topic the G7 plans to discuss as leaders gather.
