Trump says US-Iran deal to be signed on Sunday as Tehran casts doubt on timing

 President Donald Trump has said a deal to end fighting between the US and Iran is scheduled to be signed on Sunday, after Iran cast doubt on the timing.

In a post on social media, Trump said the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping route, would be "open to all" once the deal is agreed.

On Saturday, Pakistan, a key mediator, also said the deal was "likely expected" to be finalised within 24 hours and they were "preparing for the electronic signing". 

Before Trump's comments, Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei expressed caution over the timeline, saying: "We will have to wait and see about the exact date of the signing of the memorandum of understanding, although it will not be tomorrow [Sunday]."

A delegation from Qatar, which has also mediated in the talks, arrived in Tehran on Sunday, Iranian media reported. It was not clear if the visit would affect the timing of Iran's expected signature of the deal.

In a post on Truth Social on Saturday, Trump wrote: "The Deal is scheduled to get signed tomorrow, and immediately after it is signed, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN TO ALL."

In an apparent reference to Iran's enriched uranium stockpiles, Trump said that "at the appropriate time, when all is calm, we will go in and get the Nuclear Dust", adding it would later be destroyed.

For decades, Iran has been accused by Western countries of trying to build a nuclear bomb. It has denied the accusations saying its programme is for peaceful purposes - to generate electricity and for research purposes.

Trump also warned that if things would not "work out quickly, easily and smoothly", Washington had "the ultimate alternative, hopefully never to be used again!" Earlier on Saturday, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that "we are closer to a peace deal than ever before".

"With finalisation likely expected in the next 24 hours, Pakistan is preparing for the electronic signing of the peace deal immediately after, followed by technical level talks next week," Sharif wrote on X. On Friday, Iran's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said that a deal with the US was close.

UK intercepts Russian shadow fleet oil tanker in English Channel, PM says

  British armed forces have intercepted a Russian shadow fleet oil tanker in the English Channel in the early hours of Sunday morning, Sir Keir Starmer has said.

In an operation lasting six hours, Royal Marine Commandos and specially trained law enforcement officers from the National Crime Agency boarded the vessel, supported by the RAF.

The vessel, Smyrtos, will be held and monitored off the south coast of England as investigations continue, the MoD said in a statement. 

Sir Keir Starmer said: "This successful operation delivers yet another blow to Russia and reminds those fuelling Putin's war in Ukraine that we will not let them hide."

Russia has been operating a "shadow fleet" of tankers to evade international sanctions imposed on its oil exports.

Responsible for carrying 75% of Russia's sanctioned oil, the shadow fleet of over 700 vessels provides a critical lifeline for the Kremlin, the MoD said.

The prime minister announced in March that British armed forces were "now able to board sanctioned vessels that are passing through our waters".

A Biblical Love: Evangelical Christians Are The Backbone Of Israel’s Support In The United States

 

A Biblical Love: Evangelical Christians Are The Backbone Of Israel’s Support In The United States

Theodor Herzl, the father of modern Zionism, considered William Henry Hechler the first Christian Zionist. Hechler, a clergyman, missionary, and chaplain, met Herzl in the spring of 1896 after reading Herzl’s book The Jewish State.

The Child Safety Trojan Horse: Digital IDs Are Coming

Around the world, governments are increasingly moving to restrict children’s access to social media, pornography, and other online content. On the surface, the goal seems noble. Most parents agree that children should not have unrestricted access to explicit material, predatory online communities, or social media platforms that have been linked to anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns.

Doormat Christianity: The Heresy Destroying Christians The Root Source of Western Paralysis

 If one were asked to identify the root cause of Western decline, many would cite politics, secularism, immigration, demographic change, or cultural Marxism. These are symptoms. As usual, the deeper if not ultimate cause is spiritual, metaphysical, theological.

The West is suffering from a diluted and corrupted form of Christianity — a selectively edited faith that amplifies mercy while amputating justice, that preaches love while suppressing moral judgment, that celebrates humility while condemning resistance. I’ve long called it Doormat Christianity. 

Even Western atheists who altogether reject Christianity cannot escape its effects. After all, Western notions of human rights, equality, compassion, and tolerance, which secularist embrace, did not spontaneously generate themselves. They arose within a uniquely Christian moral framework.

In this sense, secular liberalism is not a rival civilization; it is Christianity’s moral vocabulary detached from its theological spine. And when detached, virtues mutate.

A Super Bowl 2024 commercial titled “Foot Washing” perfectly captures the nature of Doormat Christianity. It consists of a series of images of Americans — largely white and traditional looking — kneeling down and washing the feet of non-whites and non-Christians, as well as homosexuals, illegal migrants, and a woman who aborted her baby.

After the final image, the following—supposedly profound—words appear:  Jesus Didn’t Teach Hate. He Washed Feet. The implication is clear: true Christianity means permanent accommodation; true Christians must be permanent doormats.

Now, to be sure, Christ washed feet. He also warned of judgment, rebuked sinners, demanded repentance, and physically drove money changers from the Temple.

Israel carries out air strikes on Lebanon, state media says, as Iran claims deal with US near

 Israel has carried out air strikes in the south of Lebanon after ordering people to leave about 20 locations, Lebanese state media has said.

At least one person has been killed following a strike on the town of Marrakeh, in Lebanon's Tyre district, according to the Lebanese National News Agency.

Israel's prime minister had previously warned his country would strike Hezbollah if it continues attacks against northern Israel. 

The strikes come as Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, whose country is mediating talks between the US and Iran, wrote on X "we are closer to a peace deal than ever before". Finalisation is "likely expected in the next 24 hours", he added.

Iran's foreign minister said earlier that a deal to end fighting with the US is close. The agreement also envisages an end to the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, Seyed Abbas Araghchi also said.

Araghchi said the deal includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz and told state TV it includes the lifting of a US blockade of Iran. However, he said talks on Iran's nuclear programme would begin later.

US officials have confirmed some of the details of the agreement, saying economic benefits for Iran would depend on Tehran meeting its obligations.

Previous reports from the US have suggested Lebanon may not be part of this deal - with Iran reportedly insisting on it.

The war began with US and Israeli strikes across Iran on 28 February, prompting Iran to attack Israel and US-allied states in the Gulf - as well as effectively closing the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping route for the world's oil and liquefied natural gas.

Donald Trump lashes out at ‘very dishonourable’ Iran as country’s leadership LEAKS top secret peace terms

 Donald Trump has lashed out at Iran after officials leaked peace proposals between Washington and Tehran, branding their conduct "very dishonourable".

Taking to social media this afternoon, the President insisted the information released by Iran bore no resemblance to what had actually been negotiated. "The terms that Iran leaked out to the fake news have nothing to do with the terms that were agreed to, in writing," Trump stated on his Truth Social platform. 

"What they said, including their weak and pathetic statement on having a deal, bears no relation to the truth. Very dishonorable people to deal with. With them, there is no such thing as dealing in good faith."

The deal would reportedly prolong the current ceasefire by 60 days, creating a window for both nations to negotiate over Iran's nuclear programme. Central to the agreement detailed by Tehran is the nation's stockpile of enriched uranium, with the deal reportedly including billions in sanctions relief.

According to an Iranian source speaking to Reuters, the terms would lift American sanctions targeting Iran's oil sector and release billions in frozen Iranian assets. The agreement would also mandate a complete end to hostilities, encompassing the peripheral conflict between Israel and Lebanon. 

The White House appear dead set on concluding negotiations to bring an end to the conflict.

"We're not quite at the finish line yet, but we're very close," a senior White House official said in response to the details of the deal. 

Vice President JD Vance is anticipated to put pen to paper on the agreement in Geneva, perhaps as early as Sunday - which coincides with President Trump's birthday.

Four US Air Force C-17 transport aircraft departed for Europe yesterday, ferrying equipment in preparation for the Vice President's trip to the Swiss city, where a signing ceremony is being arranged.

The Road to Israel’s Isolation: Trump, Iran, and the Last Days

Lately, the tension between President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has become much more obvious. In the past, American presidents and Israeli leaders sometimes disagreed behind closed doors. Now, these disagreements are out in the open, especially about Israel’s right to defend itself from threats by Iran and its allies.

President Trump seems to have had enough. Over the past two months, he has shown extraordinary patience in negotiating with Iran and trying to close a deal that would end the war. Even though Iran’s regime violated the ceasefire time after time, attacking U.S. bases and our allies in the region, the president maintained that Iran wanted a deal and that progress was being made.

Steven Spielberg Believes That Disclosure Day Will Greatly Shake The Faith Of Christians All Over The Globe

Would undeniable evidence of alien life cause large numbers of people to abandon what they believe about God? Disclosure Day comes out in theaters this weekend, and that appears to be one of the biggest questions that this film is driving at. Much of the global population has always operated under the assumption that the only intelligent life that exists in the universe is on this planet. So how would the world respond to very clear evidence that proves once and for all that we are not alone?

Deal to end fighting would lead to Hormuz reopening, Iran says

  A deal with the US to end fighting in Iran is close and includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's Foreign Minister has said.

Seyed Abbas Araghchi told state TV the deal also includes the lifting of a US blockade of Iran, but that talks on Iran's nuclear programme would begin later. US officials have confirmed some of the details of the agreement, saying economic benefits for Iran would depend on Tehran meeting its obligations.

The war began with US and Israeli strikes across Iran on 28 February, prompting Iran to attack Israel and US-allied states in the Gulf - as well as effectively closing the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping route for the world's oil and liquefied natural gas.

Despite having agreed a ceasefire in April, the US and Iran have exchanged intermittent fire, including two rounds of tit-for-tat strikes this week.

US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he had cancelled "scheduled attacks" against Iran, because negotiators had "just made a great settlement" - a deal that was likely be to signed imminently. On Friday, Iranian media published some details from the alleged 14-point deal which Trump said had "nothing to do with the terms that were agreed to" and "bears no relation to the truth".

A few hours later, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, whose country helped mediate the deal, said the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the US and Iran had been agreed and awaited finalising.

Iran's Araghchi was quoted in state media saying there are "supporters and opponents" of the latest terms of the deal among Iran's top security body, the Supreme National Security Council. However, he added that a collective decision had not been reached. "For now, we must wait. If approved, the agreement will be signed remotely," he said.

Israel is not involved in the talks which are meant to lead to an extension of the ceasefire and the start of negotiations on key issues, including Iran's nuclear programme. For decades, Iran has been accused by Western countries of trying to build a nuclear weapon. It has denied the accusations saying its programme is for peaceful purposes - to generate electricity and for research purposes.
