A diplomat from a mediating country tells Israeli journalist Barak Ravid that the US and Iran have reached an agreement on the text of a deal, while acknowledging final approval is still pending. The official added that US Air Force planes flew to Europe overnight carrying equipment, preparing for a potential trip by Vice President JD Vance to a signing ceremony in Geneva in the coming days.
This update comes amid a rapid stream of reports on diplomatic progress between Washington and Tehran. On June 11, The Zioneer reported that the Washington Post described the deal as "closed" with signing expected soon in Geneva or Rome. Earlier that evening, CBS News reported a memorandum of understanding likely to be signed early this week, while Iran's Fars News Agency said Tehran was leaning toward approving the US proposal. The new detail — that Vance's travel preparations are underway — marks the most concrete logistical signal yet that a signing is imminent.
The mediating states reported: the US and Iran have agreed on the deal text. What remains unconfirmed at this stage: the timing of final approval and the formal signing ceremony.
