A historic peace agreement to end hostilities between Iran and the United States could be signed today, Sunday.

On Saturday (June 13), Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and US President Donald Trump both indicated that a deal was imminent.

However, a spokesperson for Iran's Foreign Ministry stated that a signing on Sunday is not yet guaranteed.

The prospects for a US-Iran rapprochement appear stronger than ever.

Taking to social media on Saturday, US President Donald Trump stated that an agreement between the two nations is scheduled to be signed on Sunday.

He further noted that immediately following the signing, the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened for international maritime navigation.

Trump added that once the situation stabilizes, the US would take control of Iran's nuclear materials to decommission and destroy them.

Earlier, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif stated that both sides have agreed on a framework for the peace treaty, and preparations are underway for an electronic signing on Sunday. This would be followed by technical-level discussions next week.

However, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei cautioned that while the likelihood of a deal is very high, there is no guarantee it will happen on Sunday.

He added that Iranian officials have no immediate plans to travel to Geneva or any other location over the next day or two.

Meanwhile, US media outlet Axios reported that the agreement could be finalized during a virtual meeting, as part of ongoing negotiations mediated by Pakistan, Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that Israel is not a party to the highly anticipated US-Iran memorandum of understanding.

According to The Times of Israel, Netanyahu expressed his gratitude to Trump during a phone call, as the US President promised that the final treaty would include clauses to dismantle Iran’s uranium enrichment infrastructure and impose strict limits on its missile production.

Nevertheless, senior Israeli officials have expressed deep concern over the potential deal. They argue that Iran will gain significant economic and diplomatic relief before the conflict truly ends, without offering ironclad guarantees regarding its nuclear program.

Key Points of the Proposed Agreement
While the full draft of the negotiated agreement between the US and Iran has not been officially released, diplomatic and media sources indicate that if the deal takes effect, the Strait of Hormuz will promptly reopen to international shipping.

Concurrently, the US naval blockade surrounding Iranian ports could be lifted.

Discussions have also reportedly covered easing certain economic sanctions on Tehran and unfreezing a portion of confiscated Iranian assets.

Sources suggest that highly contentious issues regarding Iran's nuclear program have been excluded from this initial interim agreement.

Instead, the plan is to hold separate negotiations on that front over the next 60 days to reach a final decision.

Even so, a stark contrast remains between the two sides regarding the nuclear issue.

The White House claims that as part of the initial understanding, Iran has agreed to abandon its nuclear program and either destroy its enriched uranium or transfer it to another country.

Conversely, Iran has strongly rejected this claim, stating it will neither destroy nor export its uranium, maintaining instead that it will lower enrichment levels while keeping the material within its borders.
