News Desk - Iranian media reports indicate that Tehran has "not yet" made a final decision on a potential peace deal with the United States, contradicting President Donald Trump's claim that a deal would be signed today. The U.S. and Iran have released conflicting information about the deal's contents, as each nation seeks to demonstrate it emerged from the 107-day war with the upper hand, while Iran maintains no final agreement has been reached.

Despite Trump's announcement that an initial memorandum of understanding is set for electronic signing on Sunday, Iranian Foreign Ministry sources state Tehran has not yet taken a final decision on any agreement with the U.S. Iranian officials emphasize they will not compromise on their "red lines" during negotiations, with Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei calling reports of a finalized deal "purely conjectural". The U.S. claims the deal would include dismantling Iran's nuclear program and permanently reopening the Strait of Hormuz, while Iranian media suggests the agreement would grant Iran authority over the waterway, challenging Washington's assertions as "inconsistent with reality".

The conflicting narratives highlight the ongoing tensions as both nations approach what could be the war's first formal agreement, with Iran reportedly wanting to clear mines from the strait during a potential 30-day window following agreement. The draft agreement appears to contain commitments from Iran to relinquish its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, with transfer specifics to be determined later. Despite Trump's repeated claims that a deal is imminent marking at least the third such announcement hardline backlash, disputes over nuclear terms, and uncertainty over frozen funds continue to cloud Tehran's path to signing.

As the U.S. and Iran prepare for what Trump calls the "first stage" of a peace deal, Iran's statement that no final decision has been reached underscores the fragile nature of negotiations. The expected reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, currently closed to all vessels per Iran's June 11 announcement, would mark a significant shift in regional maritime security, though the exact timing and conditions remain uncertain as both sides position themselves for maximum advantage.
