U.S. Halts Planned Strike; Trump Says Peace Agreement to Be Signed This Weekend | WPN World People News

The conflict between the United States and Iran has taken a dramatic turn. U.S. President Donald Trump, who had previously threatened to launch more severe attacks against Iran, unexpectedly announced the cancellation of the planned military operation just five hours later and stated that a peace agreement would be reached. Iranian authorities, however, have not yet softened their position and have emphasized that no final decision has been made.

According to a senior U.S. official, the proposed agreement includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz, lifting the maritime blockade, dismantling Iran's nuclear program, and transferring Iran's enriched uranium to the United States for destruction and removal.
Both sides have reportedly reached a consensus on the agreement's text and are currently negotiating a memorandum of understanding. This will be followed by a 60-day round of nuclear negotiations. U.S. officials stated that the objective of these talks is to dismantle Iran's nuclear program, destroy and remove its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, and establish a long-term monitoring and inspection mechanism.

The United States plans to gradually release Iran's frozen overseas assets once the Strait of Hormuz is reopened and will grant partial sanctions relief for Iranian oil exports. However, U.S. officials stressed that no funds will be released until Iran fulfills its commitments.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi stated that the agreement has not yet reached a final conclusion. He accused the United States of repeatedly changing its position during negotiations and attempting to impose unreasonable demands, emphasizing that Iran will not compromise on issues it considers red lines.

Sources indicated that the peace agreement could be signed as early as the 15th. It is expected that U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf will sign the agreement on behalf of their respective sides. The signing location has not yet been finalized. Araqchi stated that the agreement will be signed remotely and announced publicly after completion.
