US President Donald Trump said Wednesday that the deal reached with Iran on Sunday could be signed “shortly.”
“So, the deal we reached with Iran on Sunday will be signed shortly, tomorrow, maybe the next day,” Trump said at a news conference from France as the G7 summit concludes.
He said the technical discussions on nuclear stockpile will begin “immediately.”
“We’re going to start that immediately,” he added.
The president also hailed the deal which he said ends the current conflict, reopens the Strait of Hormuz, and prevents Iran from ever obtaining a nuclear weapon.
“If we didn’t do this deal, we could have dropped more bombs for another three weeks, two weeks, four weeks, two years. You would never have the Hormuz Strait open. You would never have success,” Trump said.
The deal to permanently end the US-Israeli war on Iran and fully open the Strait of Hormuz that was shut in retaliation by Tehran was reached late Sunday. Mediator Pakistan and Trump earlier said the agreement would be signed in Switzerland on Friday.
