President Donald Trump expects a potential nuclear deal with Iran to be finalized by Sunday, just ahead of the June 30 deadline that remains in place for the ongoing negotiations. Iranian officials, however, say they are still reviewing the text of the agreement and have not confirmed a Sunday accord.
Trump's Sunday timeline
Speaking from the White House, Trump said he anticipates the deal could be wrapped up before the weekend is out. The Sunday target would beat the June 30 cutoff by a day. But no formal announcement has been scheduled, and negotiators have yet to release any joint statement on the talks.
Iran's cautious review
In Tehran, officials struck a more measured tone. They described the current phase as a review of the deal text, with no final sign-off yet. That stance suggests that even if Trump expects a Sunday breakthrough, the Iranian side may need more time to reach internal consensus before putting pen to paper.
The framework taking shape
Despite the apparent gap in timelines, negotiators from both sides have been progressing toward a framework agreement. The contours of a potential deal remain unclear, but the shared June 30 deadline is keeping pressure on all parties to resolve remaining sticking points quickly.
The next concrete test comes Sunday, when the world will see whether Trump's prediction holds or Iranian review delays a final accord. If no deal emerges by then, the June 30 deadline will still apply, keeping the window open for a last-minute push.
