President Donald Trump said Saturday that a deal with Iran is set to be signed on Sunday, June 14, with the Strait of Hormuz reopening to all shipping right away and no U.S. money changing hands.
In a Truth Social post, Trump laid out his view of the agreement as a sharp break from the Obama-era JCPOA. He called the earlier deal “an easy, beautiful, smooth road to a Nuclear Weapon” that would have left Iran with a bomb years ago.
“My Agreement with Iran is the exact opposite, A WALL TO NO NUCLEAR WEAPON!” Trump wrote. “In fact, they no longer want a Nuclear Weapon, nor will they have one, either through purchase, development, or any other form of procurement.”
He added that the deal would open the strait immediately after signing. The narrow waterway between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman has been restricted for months amid the conflict, disrupting global oil flows and driving up energy prices.
Trump Draws Sharp Contrast With Obama-Era Nuclear Deal
“Unlike Obama’s Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in payments to them, including 1.7 Billion Dollars in green, cold cash, no money will exchange hands,” Trump said.
The president also outlined longer-term plans, noting that once things calm down, the U.S. would remove and destroy Iran’s remaining “Nuclear Dust” using B-2 bombers.
That material, buried deep under granite mountains, would be taken out and “downblended and destroyed,” either in Iran or brought back to the United States.
Trump’s Warning if the Agreement Falls Apart
Trump ended on a promising note but left the door open to tougher action, which came across as another threat.
“We look forward to working with Iran, and the entire Middle East, long into the future,” he wrote. “Hopefully, this process will all work out quickly, easily, and smoothly. If it doesn’t, we have the ultimate alternative, hopefully never to be used again!”
The announcement comes after weeks of indirect talks, mostly brokered by Pakistan, to end fighting that began earlier in 2026.

The conflict has featured U.S. strikes, Iranian retaliation, and a blockade that cut off oil exports via the strait, one of the world’s most important energy chokepoints.
News outlets reported that both sides have signaled progress toward an initial agreement. Pakistani officials suggested a signing could come within days, possibly as soon as Sunday.
However, Iranian officials had earlier taken a different stance on the exact timing, saying nothing was finalized for tomorrow and that more work remained.
Earlier reports describe a possible 60-day ceasefire extension, reopening of the strait with Iran clearing mines, and a framework to discuss Iran’s nuclear program later.
Trump has been stressing that any final pact must prevent Iran from ever getting a nuclear weapon and include destruction of its enriched uranium stockpile.
Trump’s announcement is eliciting mixed reactions on social media. Some called the announcement overly optimistic or questioned whether Iran would sign on Sunday.

Other netizens lauded it as a potential breakthrough that could ease pressure on global energy markets and lower costs at the pump.
This isn’t the first time Trump has spoken confidently about a deal. Earlier rounds of talks had raised hopes but failed to reach a deal. The main issues were disagreements over sanctions relief and nuclear limits.
Leaks from Iranian media have at times described terms that differed sharply from what Trump outlined, prompting him to dismiss them as fake or unrelated to the actual discussions.
Meanwhile, reopening the Strait of Hormuz could quickly boost oil supplies and help stabilize markets rattled by months of disruptions.
The U.S. and other parts of the World have been recording higher pump prices since the war began.
