Iran’s military has rejected US President Donald Trump’s claim that a peace agreement with Tehran would be signed today. The denial casts doubt on prospects for an immediate breakthrough and highlights ongoing tensions. The development affects diplomatic efforts involving Iran, the United States, and the wider Middle East.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said Iranian negotiators had already stated that no agreement would be signed on Sunday. The force dismissed reports of an imminent deal and challenged Trump’s public announcement. Officials maintained that no signing ceremony had been scheduled for the day.
According to the Revolutionary Guards, Trump wanted the agreement signing to take place on June 14. The statement claimed he preferred the date because it coincides with his birthday. Iranian officials further alleged that the event was being framed for symbolic value and personal promotion.
Earlier, Trump announced that a peace agreement with Iran would be signed today. He said the Strait of Hormuz would reopen fully after the agreement takes effect. Trump also stated that remaining nuclear material would be collected at an appropriate time once conditions stabilized.
Meanwhile, Trump expressed hope that the process would be completed quickly and smoothly. He said the United States looked forward to working with Iran and the broader Middle East in the future. However, Iran’s latest response suggests significant differences remain before any formal agreement can be reached.
