U.S. President Donald Trump has said a peace agreement with Iran is scheduled to be signed on Sunday in a post on social media, despite Tehran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei saying no deal would be approved this weekend.
See you tomorrow.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer backed Donald Trump's efforts to reach a peace deal with Iran during a phone call with the U.S. President on Saturday, Downing Street has said.
Starmer welcomed progress made so far and reiterated that Britain stands ready to support the implementation of any peace agreement and work with international partners to ensure its success, the UK Prime Minister's office said.
U.S. President Donald Trump has said said a deal with Iran is scheduled to be signed on Sunday and that the Strait of Hormuz would be immediately "open to all" after it was signed.
Trump's statment contradicts remarks made by Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei earlier on Saturday.
Baghaei said no deal between Tehran and Washington would be signed on Sunday, but didn't rule out an agreement being signed in the coming days.
Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, whose government has been mediating between the two countries, also earlier said a peace agreement was expected to be signed in the next 24 hours.
A senior U.S. official has called an emerging agreement on Iran a strong deal and said that Washington would participate in de-mining of the Strait of Hormuz once the accord is sealed.
Iran will have to charge for services it provides as part of its management of the Strait of Hormuz, a spokesperson for Tehran's Foreign Ministry has told the IRGC-linked Fars News Agency.
The spokesperson added that foreign bases and military presence in the region must end and said that the release of Iran's frozen funds was an integral part of the peace agreement.
No peace deal between the U.S. and Iran will be signed on Sunday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei has said.
Baghaei said caution was needed with regards to any comment on the signing of the agreement, which is being called the Islamabad Memorandum because it was brokered with the help of Pakistan, due to hesitation from the U.S.
However, he added that the possibility of the Islamabad Memorandum being signed in the coming days couldn't be ruled out.
Baghaei's assessment of the situation appears to contradict that of Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who earlier said a peace agreement was expected to be signed in the next 24 hours.
