A deal 'to be signed today': how close is the US-Iran ceasefire, really?

On day 107 of open US-Iran hostilities, President Trump says a deal will be signed within hours. Tehran says not so fast. The gap between the two readouts is now the story.

Desk note. Monexus framed the morning's reporting as a three-claim file — Washington's claim, Tehran's claim, and Doha's choreography — rather than as a single deal-or-no-deal headline. The gap between the two governments' public posture is the story for the next 72 hours, and the framing will be tightened when a signed text or a formal Iranian statement is on the wire.
