Baghaei clarified that the precise date for formalizing the document remains open. While he did not rule out a signing ceremony materializing “over the next few days,” he emphasized that it would not occur on June 14. The Foreign Ministry urged international observers and domestic media to comment on the negotiation process with extreme care, pointing directly to ongoing “hesitations” from the US side as a primary source of delay.
Tehran emphasized that the structural parameters of its nuclear program are far from settled. According to Iranian officials, the ultimate fate of its domestic enrichment capabilities and nuclear architecture has not been closed and must be relegated to a secondary, distinct phase of future diplomatic negotiations – a stance that challenges Trump’s assertions of a fully finalized non-proliferation pact.
Trump declares an imminent “wall” against nuclear weapons
The diplomatic friction spilled into the open following a post by Trump on Truth Social. Trump announced that the US and Iran were scheduled to sign a peace agreement on Sunday, June 14, a timeline corroborated by key backchannel mediator Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
