Trump expects to sign a deal with Iran on Sunday, but Tehran may want to avoid giving him a gift on his birthday
President Donald Trump claims a U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz will be signed on Sunday, his 80th birthday, but Iran denies the deal will finalize on that day, calling Trump's insistence 'strange.' Pakistan, acting as a mediator, anticipates an electronic signing soon, while Iran demands immediate sanctions relief and asset unfreezing, which the U.S. opposes. Analysts suggest Iran may avoid giving Trump a birthday 'gift' by delaying the agreement.
