US President Donald Trump says a deal to stop the war on Iran could be signed as early as Sunday. Tehran has disputed the timeline but says the signing could happen in the “coming days”.

Trump says the Strait of Hormuz will “open to all” once the deal is signed and claims the US will eventually get Iran’s nuclear material.

Funeral ceremonies for Iran’s late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei will begin on July 4 in Tehran, with his burial set for Mashhad on July 9, according to Iranian media.

The semi-official agency, citing an informed source, says Tehran has not yet taken a final decision on the framework agreement to end the US-Israeli war on Iran.

US and Pakistani leaders forecast a Sunday signing of a long-elusive preliminary agreement to end months of fighting, but Tehran cast doubt over the timing.

President Donald Trump posted on Saturday the deal with Iran is scheduled to be signed on Sunday, his 80th birthday.
