President Donald Trump said Sunday that he plans to issue a statement on an agreement with Iran “imminently,” as he continued to project confidence that an accord could be finalized soon, APA reports.
Trump told The Wall Street Journal that any agreement would be signed electronically by himself or Vice President JD Vance.
The president said the agreement would include a commitment from Iran not to obtain nuclear weapons and an immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
The president’s comments came as he told Axios earlier Sunday that he still expected an agreement with Iran to be signed before the end of the day, despite uncertainty over whether Tehran will ultimately approve the proposed framework.
“I think they want to get it done. This has never happened to them before,” Trump told The Journal when asked about skepticism that Iran would agree.
The president said the agreement would include inspections, though he did not provide details on how they would be conducted. He also suggested sanctions relief could be considered while insisting Iran would not receive cash. “We’ll see how they behave,” Trump said.
“As far as regime change, I never cared about regime change. This is the third group we’ve dealt with, and this is the most rational group yet,” Trump said.
On Iran’s nuclear material, Trump said, “We’ll get the nuclear dust later on when we’re ready to go in and do it,” adding, “I’d say over the next month or two, there’s no rush,” and describing it as “harmless.”
