Trump Claims Middle East Deal Set for Sunday Signing

In a post shared on Truth Social, Trump framed the upcoming agreement as a direct rejection of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) negotiated during the Barack Obama administration. He characterized the 2015 agreement as a flawed pathway that would have accelerated Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weaponry, claiming his own approach functions as a definitive barrier against such proliferation.

While details regarding the signatories and specific terms of the agreement remain sparse, Trump emphasized the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz. By linking the opening of this critical maritime chokepoint to the signing ceremony, he signaled a shift in regional transit policy intended to follow the diplomatic breakthrough.
