US President Donald Trump says a US-Iran deal could be signed in Europe as soon as this weekend. Multiple outlets report that Trump says he will not attend the signing ceremony himself, and that Vice President JD Vance would represent the United States. Some reporting places an earlier signing event on Friday and suggests further steps could occur in Switzerland or Geneva on June 19, with the possibility of additional negotiations continuing over the weekend. France 24 also reports that Iran reacts to the reported terms, including remarks from Iran’s supreme leader describing Trump’s agreement as coming “out of desperation,” while US Democrats criticize the arrangement.
Sources also note that Tehran has not provided a clear official response to Trump’s latest remarks at the time of publication. Vance is described as uncertain about whether he will travel to the scheduled location, even as outlets state that an initial agreement has already been signed by Trump and Iranian officials. Across coverage, the key points are the claimed timeline, the planned role of JD Vance, and the lack of fully confirmed details regarding Tehran’s position and the exact signing venue and schedule.
