[US-Israel, Iran War Day #107] US-Iran Framing of ‘End of War’ Signals Shift Despite Ongoing Hostility

In Brief…

• A group of hardliners held protest rallies against an emerging deal with the United States in Tehran and Mashhad, accusing Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi of being an infiltrator and compromising with the US.
• President Trump said a deal with Iran is scheduled to be signed Sunday and would immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz, while warning that he has an “ultimate alternative” if the process fails. He also ruled out any cash exchange in the deal, vowing to retrieve Iran’s uranium stocks at a later time.
• Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Tahir Andrabi said Saturday that Islamabad will host the signing ceremony for an Iran-US peace agreement by video conference on Sunday. Iran’s foreign ministry earlier said the signing will not happen on Sunday.
