President Trump announced that the United States and Iran will sign an agreement to end their military conflict on Sunday, with both nations expected to finalize the deal electronically.

Trump made the announcement without providing additional details about the accord's terms or implementation. Multiple news outlets reported the Sunday signing date based on Trump's statement.

Iran has disputed the timeline Trump outlined. Iranian officials have not confirmed they will sign the agreement on the date Trump specified.

The reported deal centers on reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global oil shipments that has been a flashpoint in U.S.-Iran tensions. Both the U.S. and Iran indicated in separate statements that negotiations could conclude within days, though their accounts of the process diverged.

The agreement would represent a significant shift in the relationship between Washington and Tehran after months of escalating military confrontations. The two countries have engaged in direct strikes and counterstrikes in recent weeks.

Neither side has released the full text of the proposed agreement for public review. The deal's specific provisions, enforcement mechanisms, and timeline for implementation remain unclear.
