President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Feb. 28, with massive joint U.S.-Israeli strikes targeting military, government and infrastructure sites.

Following the announcement of a two-week ceasefire, initial U.S.-Iran talks in Pakistan in April failed to reach a peace deal.

Trump later announced the open-ended extension of the ceasefire and the continuation of a U.S. blockade until negotiations are concluded "one way or the other."

Trump says agreement with Iran will be signed 'tomorrow'

President Donald Trump said a deal between the U.S. and Iran is scheduled to be signed tomorrow, reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

"At the appropriate time, when all is calm, we will go in and get the Nuclear Dust, buried deep under the powerful sunken granite mountains, thanks to our beautiful B-2 Bombers and their brilliant pilots, and downblend and destroy it, whether in Iran, or the United States," Trump said in a post on social media.

"We look forward to working with Iran, and the entire Middle East, long into the future. Hopefully, this process will all work out quickly, easily, and smoothly. If it doesn’t, we have the ultimate alternative, hopefully never to be used again!" Trump said.

Earlier Saturday, Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said there's a high possibility of the memorandum of understanding being finalized in the coming days, but added that there's currently no plans for an Iranian delegation to travel to Geneva or anywhere else in the next day or two.

Iranian official says 'we'll wait and see' on signing

Ismail Baghaei, the spokesman for Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said the focus now is on ending the war on all fronts including Lebanon, and the two sides decided not to discuss the nuclear issue.

"This is not a final agreement between Iran and the United States, but rather an understanding that outlines the general outlines of the disputed issues and specifies that the war will end," Baghaei said at a press conference Saturday.

"The nuclear issue is also scheduled to be discussed within a 60-day period, so there will be no discussion about its details at this stage," Baghaei said.
