United States President Donald Trump said on Monday that the peace agreement to end the war in West Asia does not involve any sanctions relief for Iran. Trump made the statement during a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron at the G7 summit in Evian, France.

When asked whether the peace deal involved sanctions relief for Iran, Trump replied, 'No it doesn't. Well it's truly a behavioural thing, if they do what they are supposed to do, that starts taking effect.'

Trump also revealed that the text for the memorandum of understanding signed by the US and Iran will be released 'sometime after Friday.'

The US President added that US Vice President JD Vance would be attending the official signing ceremony for the peace deal, and that oil prices were 'plummeting' after the announcement of the deal, with stocks rising.

Trump said that the Strait of Hormuz will be 'completely open' from Friday, and that the US 'won't need much help' to keep it open, but conceded that it was 'not a bad idea.'
