Sunday, June 14 was Flag Day, Donald Trump’s 80th birthday, and another day of being assured by the President that a “deal” was about to be signed to end the U.S. war on Iran.

Al Jazeera’s live update page reported the following at 4:45 AM US East Coast time:

“Tehran has not yet taken a final decision on the framework agreement to end the US-Israeli war on Iran. A review of the memorandum of understanding’s political, legal, and technical aspects is still ongoing at expert and decision-making levels, it said.

“U.S. and Pakistani leaders forecast a Sunday signing of a long-elusive preliminary agreement to end months of fighting, but Tehran cast doubt over the timing. President Donald Trump posted on Saturday the deal with Iran is scheduled to be signed on Sunday, his 80th birthday.

’Trump has suggested that the memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran will be signed virtually. Now, the US president’s schedule has been posted for Sunday. There is no mention of a virtual signing ceremony. However, it can be added.”
