Iran has firmly dismissed President Donald Trump's assertion that the country is prepared to sign a diplomatic agreement with the United States this Sunday.
The rejection directly contradicts Trump's Saturday post on Truth Social, in which he claimed the deal would include the immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz to all shipping traffic.
The diplomatic friction ensures that the Strait of Hormuz remains a high-risk zone for global energy transit.
With no immediate breakthrough in sight, the shipping lane continues to face elevated geopolitical risk, keeping tanker routes exposed and sustaining upward pressure on energy and freight costs.
This development follows a recent period of intense diplomatic maneuvering.
Earlier reports indicated that Iran was preparing a proposal aimed at satisfying US demands, a signal that Trump cited in his recent interview with Reuters.
