Iran War Live Updates: Trump Says Peace Deal Will Be Signed Sunday, but Iran Disputes Timeline

Key Points:

• The United States and Iran are reportedly negotiating a memorandum of understanding that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz, lift the U.S. naval blockade on Iranian ports, and extend the current cease-fire for 60 days to allow detailed negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program and U.S. sanctions.
• Despite progress, the deal remains uncertain as Iranian officials have tempered expectations about an imminent agreement, and recent military incidents, including U.S. interception of Iranian drones and ongoing fighting in Lebanon, highlight the fragility of the situation.
• Israel has expressed opposition to the deal, with its defense minister asserting that Israel will not withdraw from territories it occupies and must maintain the ability to act independently against Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
• The proposed agreement would initiate a 60-day cease-fire across all fronts, including Lebanon, and set the stage for further talks on Iran’s nuclear program and sanctions relief, though key issues like Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile remain unresolved.
• If finalized, the deal is expected to be signed in Geneva by U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Iran’s top negotiator, Gen. Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, marking a potential step toward regional de-escalation despite lingering uncertainties.
