Iran and the US have finally signed the peace deal, effectively ending the three-month Gulf War. The development was confirmed by President Donald Trump while he was leaving Versailles. Earlier reports said that the POTUS signed the deal while he was having dinner with the President of France, Emmanuel Macron. From Iran’s side, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei also confirmed that the deal was signed. Some White House officials additionally confirmed the deal while speaking over the phone with the US reporters. However, it was not clear whether the two countries would go ahead with the scheduled in-person signing ceremony in Switzerland on Friday, June 19. Baghaei said it has been called off, and the deal has come into effect after digital signatures from both parties.
Who Signed The Iran-US Peace Deal?
Reuters reported that the agreement, which was recently signed by Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, was earlier signed by US Vice President JD Vance and Iran’s chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.
The White House also shared a video showing Trump signing the document alongside Macron during the dinner meeting in Versailles.
“It’s signed. I signed it in Versailles. Just signed it,” Trump said as he was leaving the palace after the G7 summit.
The White House official told reporters, “can confirm the signing.” The United States subsequently released the official text of the “Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
