Trump and Pakistan claim a peace deal is ready, but Iran says no
Imagine planning a massive joint wedding, sending out the invitations, booking the DJ, and then the groom politely mentions he has absolutely no idea who you are.
So, Donald Trump jumped on Truth Social to announce that a historic peace deal is getting signed. The Strait of Hormuz is opening, peace is coming, everything is great. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif even tweeted a screenshot celebrating the upcoming electronic signing. Everyone is popping the non-alcoholic champagne.
Except there is one tiny, hilarious catch: Iran has absolutely no idea what they are talking about. Their foreign ministry basically shrugged and said they have no plans to travel, negotiate, or sign anything. They are apparently not even in the group chat.
The whole thing is being done virtually anyway. Why? Because Vice President JD Vance, who did the actual negotiating, has to get back to the US before Trump flies to France. Oh, and Sunday is also Trump's 80th birthday, and they have a UFC fight scheduled on the White House lawn. Naturally.
Trying to sign a peace treaty while the other side is ghosting is certainly a bold diplomatic strategy, especially when there are cage fighters waiting in the backyard.
