The United States and Iran are scheduled to sign a peace deal Sunday that forbids Tehran from possessing nukes, President Trump said.

The Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route, would be “open to all” once the pact is finalized, Trump said Saturday on his Truth Social.

“The Deal is scheduled to get signed tomorrow, and immediately after it is signed, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN TO ALL,” Trump wrote.

He called the agreement a “WALL TO NO NUCLEAR WEAPON” for the Iranians, although some key matters, including how Tehran’s highly enriched uranium is disposed of, will be temporarily tabled.

“In fact, they no longer want a Nuclear Weapon, nor will they have one, either through purchase, development, or any other form of procurement,” the president said.

The memorandum of understanding, once signed, will kick off nuclear discussions between the US and Iran.

Trump’s north star — stopping Iran from getting nuclear weapons — is nominally achieved in the text of the agreement itself, as the president said Tehran agreed in the document to never develop or buy a nuclear warhead.

He acknowledged Saturday that the Iranian regime’s highly enriched uranium would be dealt with later – and once again dangled the threat of force if Tehran refuses to ink the deal.

“At the appropriate time, when all is calm, we will go in and get the Nuclear Dust, buried deep under the powerful sunken granite mountains, thanks to our beautiful B-2 Bombers and their brilliant pilots, and downblend and destroy it, whether in Iran, or the United States,” Trump said.

The news comes after Trump said Vice President JD Vance might sign the deal on behalf of the US, and there were rumors the veep might fly to Europe for G7 meetings set to begin in Evian, France. 

The White House and Vance’s office didn’t respond to The Post’s request for comment. The Iranians denied that any deal is imminent.

The Iranians denied that any deal is imminent, although Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei acknowledged that a framework outlining the main areas of dispute could be signed in the coming days.

Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Tahir Andrabi said the paperwork would be finalized through video conference and added that Islamabad, which had hosted earlier in-person talks, would be the location for the event. 

A draft of the deal reported by Iran’s Mehr News Agency said it included a commitment to lift oil sanctions against Tehran.

Baghaei also claimed that Iran should receive payment for its services in the Strait of Hormuz – although US officials have repeatedly said the waterway must be free and open.

Trump  contrasted the pending agreement to the scrapped Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action deal inked under President Barack Obama in 2015 — and said the relationship with the current Iranian regime is a much better than that of his predecessor. 

“Unlike Obama’s Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in payments to them, including 1.7 Billion Dollars in green, cold cash, no money will exchange hands,” he said, referencing Tehran’s sustained push in negotiations with the Trump administration for the release of $24 billion in Iranian assets frozen by sanctions. 

“We look forward to working with Iran, and the entire Middle East, long into the future.”

Trump’s post provided the latest update to tense, on-and-off negotiations over months with Tehran through intermediaries.

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had earlier said a deal could be signed within the next 24 hours with “technical level talks” to start next week.

Those talks would deal with vexing issues yet to be resolved, including how to implement Iran’s promise to destroy its stockpile of highly-enriched uranium and its commitment not to make a nuclear weapon
