President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian sign a memorandum of understanding aimed at ending the war between the United States and Iran. Multiple outlets report the signing takes place on Wednesday, following negotiations and after an earlier digital signing of the document. According to U.S. and Reuters-reported details, Vice President JD Vance and Iran’s chief negotiator Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf sign the memorandum digitally on Sunday, and Trump subsequently signs the physical copy on Wednesday.
The signing ceremony is described as occurring during Trump’s visit to France, with some reports saying it is done during dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Palace of Versailles, after a G7 summit. Iranian officials also state the document is finalized with the presidents’ signatures.
On the substance of the deal, outlets including France 24 and Al-Monitor describe a quid pro quo: Iran agrees to dilute its enriched uranium, while the United States provides large-scale economic relief. Other reports emphasize the aim of ending the wider Middle East conflict, though they reiterate the same core framework of uranium-related steps and economic benefits.
