The US and Iran are "out of sync" regarding the timing of signing the agreement.

President Donald Trump said the US and Iran would sign an agreement today (June 14), but Iran said the signing was unlikely to happen so soon.

In a post on the social media platform Truth Social on June 13 (Washington DC time), President Donald Trump announced that the agreement between the US and Iran "will be signed on June 14, and immediately after it is signed, the Strait of Hormuz will be opened to everyone."

According to the New York Times, Trump's post came hours after Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who has been mediating negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, said the two sides had agreed on a framework for a peace deal to end the Middle East conflict.

"We are closer to a peace agreement than ever before. Completion is likely to happen within the next 24 hours. Pakistan is preparing for the electronic signing of the peace agreement shortly thereafter, followed by technical-level talks next week," Sharif wrote on X.

However, immediately after President Trump's announcement, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei asserted that the parties had not yet finalized a date for signing. "We will have to wait and see the exact date for signing the memorandum of understanding, although it certainly won't be tomorrow," Baghaei said.

Iranian diplomatic officials added: Tehran "does not rule out the possibility of that (signing an agreement with the US) happening in the coming days. However, due to the hesitation of the other side, we need to be cautious when making any comments on this process."

During the 60-day ceasefire, the two sides would discuss outstanding issues such as Iran's nuclear program and US sanctions.
