Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that a peace deal with Iran could be signed by Sunday, claiming Tehran no longer wants nuclear weapons and that the Strait of Hormuz will open shortly after. Iranian leaders have expressed caution on timing, but both sides signal negotiations are advancing after weeks of halting talks.
An Iran deal would reshape energy markets—crude oil prices have been volatile on deal speculation, and a Strait of Hormuz reopening would ease supply constraints affecting global shipping and petrochemical costs. Equities tied to defense spending and Middle East exposure could face pressure if geopolitical risk recedes.
A nuclear accord would represent a major foreign policy win for Trump and reshape U.S.-Iran relations after years of sanctions and brinkmanship. The deal's credibility depends on verification mechanisms and whether Congress will accept terms negotiated without formal legislative input.
