US President Donald Trump says that a deal with Iran will be signed tomorrow, according to a post on Truth Social.

“The deal is scheduled to get signed tomorrow, and immediately after it is signed, the Hormuz Strait is open to all,” he writes. “Our relationship with Iran is a much different and better one than previous administrations have had.”

Trump adds that no money will exchange hands and that “At the appropriate time, when all is calm, we will go in and get the nuclear dust … and downblend and destroy it, whether in Iran, or the United States,” referring to Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium.

“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!” he adds
