Bloomberg News reported, citing sources familiar with the matter, that the US and Iran could sign an agreement on the sidelines of next week's G7 summit. The report adds to a stream of conflicting signals about the timeline for a US-Iran framework, which senior US officials have said could be signed within days.
Bloomberg News reported Friday, citing sources familiar with the matter, that the US and Iran could sign an agreement on the sidelines of next week's G7 summit. The report comes amid a flurry of statements from US officials on a potential deal, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent saying earlier this week the accord could be signed by early next week, and Vice President JD Vance acknowledging the timeline could vary from days to months.
As The Zioneer reported June 12, a diplomat from one of the mediating countries told Israeli journalist Barak Ravid that the US and Iran had reached agreement on the text of a deal pending final approval, and that Vance's team was preparing for a possible signing ceremony in Geneva. An Iranian state media outlet also reported Tehran is leaning toward approval, while later reports indicated both sides had not yet finalized all terms.
The G7 summit is scheduled for next week in the Apulia region of Italy. The Bloomberg report does not specify which side's sources provided the information. Several key details — including whether the deal covers only nuclear enrichment or also includes a broader regional framework — remain unconfirmed.
