Skip next section Pakistan and US say deal will be signed on Sunday, but Iran casts doubt 06/14/2026 June 14, 2026 Pakistan and US say deal will be signed on Sunday, but Iran casts doubt Deal or no deal? That's the question this Sunday. US President Donald Trump and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Saturday that an initial deal to end the Iran war was scheduled to be signed on Sunday.
Pakistan is mediating the deal between Washington and Tehran. In a social media post, Trump said the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow sea passage vital to the global supply chain, would reopen for all nations after the deal is signed. Iran closed the strait after the US launched its war against the country in February.
The US then launched a counter-blockade of the strait in April, targetingall ships seeking to reach Iranian ports. Pakistan's Sharif said the two sides had agreed to a framework for a peace deal and that Islamabad was preparing for an electronic signing on Sunday. That would be followed by technical-level talks. But even before Trump's post, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei cautioned against commenting on the timing of the signing.
"The possibility of this happening in the coming days cannot be ruled out," however, the signing "will not be tomorrow (Sunday)," he said.
