President Donald Trump touted the signed peace deal with Iran on Monday, telling reporters the Strait of Hormuz would be fully open by Friday.

Trump and Vice President JD Vance electronically signed the Memorandum of Understanding, or MOU, on Sunday, senior U.S. officials confirmed, and Mohammad Bagher-Ghalibaf signed the agreement on behalf of Iran.

Trump, who’s in Évian-les-Bains, France, to attend a Group of Seven summit, said he expects the MOU would be released “pretty soon,” noting it would be made public “sometime after Friday.”
