Trump says signing could come over the weekend

In later Oval Office comments carried by Guardian live coverage and Times of Israel, Trump said final documents should be completed in the next few days, the agreement may be signed in Europe over the weekend, and Hormuz would open as soon as the documents are signed. AP and Trading Economics showed crude falling and stocks rising, but Iran-linked denials and the lack of signed text still cap the claim.

Why this matters. This shifts the practical watchpoint from whether strikes were cancelled to whether signatures, blockade instructions, and visible tanker movement appear. Until Iranian confirmation and document text arrive, markets are pricing a procedural claim rather than implemented relief.
