The Islamic Republic of Iran has declined to sign any agreement with Washington on the occasion of Donald Trump’s 80th birthday, stating it will not allow the process to be used for political messaging or campaigning. Meanwhile, the U.S. President has threatened to deploy B-2 bombers to destroy Iranian nuclear remnants.

Iran’s Refusal to Sign on Trump’s Birthday

The Iranian Fars News Agency, citing informed sources, reported that Tehran will not sign any agreement with Washington on Sunday.

According to the report, Iran rejected the timing because it coincides with Donald Trump’s birthday, stressing that it will not allow the event to be used for media attention or political gain.

Negotiation Stalemate and Technical Delays

Iranian negotiating officials stated that they will not permit the agreement to become a political spectacle. They also emphasized that the deal has not reached its final stage, with the drafting process still incomplete, making signing at this point practically impossible.

Trump’s Statements and Military Threats

Earlier, Donald Trump stated on Truth Social that the agreement was expected to be signed on Sunday, which would lead to the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

He also added that, at the appropriate time, operations would be carried out using B-2 stealth bombers to eliminate Iran’s nuclear remnants.

Core Elements of the Proposed Agreement

According to available sources, the main components of the agreement include reopening the Strait of Hormuz and lifting the U.S. naval blockade on Iranian ports.

Discussions on Iran’s nuclear program are expected to continue in later stages. It also remains unclear whether the final signing will take place in person or through an online format.
