Trump Says Deal Between The US and Iran to be Signed, Today

US President Donald Trump says a deal to stop the war on Iran could be signed as early as today. 

President Trump described the agreement with Iran as a “wall to no nuclear weapon” and said Tehran will agree to never acquire a weapon, “whether through purchase, development, or any other form of procurement”.

Once the first stage is signed, the Strait of Hormuz will be “open to all”, he said, adding that “when all is calm” the US will “get the Nuclear Dust” in Iran and “destroy it”.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Friday that the agreement consisted of 14 points, of which the first is the lifting of the US blockade of Iranian ports.

He said the MoU calls for an end to hostilities across all fronts, including Lebanon, and an agreement not to initiate war or use force.

Frozen Iranian assets will be released upon the MoU’s signing, he added.

Araghchi said the nuclear issue will be discussed at a second stage, and that Iran’s position is that its enriched uranium should be diluted inside the country. 

He added that the second phase of negotiations will also focus on the removal of US sanctions.
