US and Iran sign agreement electronically ahead of formal ceremony
US President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf have electronically signed the memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran, Reuters and AFP reported, quoting US officials.
Trump has previously said the agreement had already been signed electronically, while a formal signing ceremony remains scheduled for later this week.
“The president wanted to sign it personally because he wanted to show his dedication to bring this through to a successful resolution,” a senior US administration official told AFP.
Speaking to reporters at the G7 summit in France, Trump said Vance would travel to Switzerland for the official signing ceremony on Friday and added that the text of the agreement would be made public soon.
Earlier, Ghalibaf wrote on X that Iran had taken a “great step toward final victory” following what he described as the country’s “historic resistance” against the United States and Israel.
ملت دوستداشتنی و سروقامت ایران! با مقاومت تاریخی شما و رشادت نیروهای مسلح دربرابر آنان که قصد جان این ملت و نابودی و تسلیم این مملکت را کرده بودند، ایران گامی بلند به سوی پیروزی نهایی برداشت. میخواستند و نتوانستند. ایستادهایم و در نهایت #ایران_ما پیروز خواهد شد، به لطف خدا. pic.twitter.com/i1rCmB58y3
