Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian was photographed after signing the US-Iran memorandum of understanding, according to the official image published alongside the handshake. The ceremonial moment follows the electronic signing earlier Thursday that brought the bilateral deal into force.
An official photograph of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian was released overnight, showing him after signing the US-Iran memorandum of understanding. The image — the first known visual confirmation of the ceremonial moment — follows the electronic signing that The Zioneer reported at 18:25 Jerusalem Wednesday. The White House formally confirmed at 03:37 Jerusalem Thursday that President Donald Trump signed the MoU while at the Palace of Versailles.
The thread of antecedents began at 18:25 Jerusalem Wednesday, when multiple versions tracked the signing's evolution: Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said the text had reached both presidents for digital signature; a separate confirmation from the spokesman that the MoU was formally signed; then an official Iranian announcement that both leaders had signed. At each step, a single channel (Iranian state media, N12 correspondent Asaf Rozentzweig) provided the report; by version 17, the confirmation had been corroborated by multiple newsrooms, and by version 18 The Zioneer reported the electronic signing as verified.
The MoU caps a rapid diplomatic sequence that The Zioneer has been tracking. On Sun Jun 14, 22:17 Jerusalem, Pezeshkian stated the Supreme National Security Council had fully authorized negotiations. On Mon Jun 15, 21:56 Jerusalem, he described approval of the final text as a 'test of America's seriousness.' As The Zioneer reported on Jun 17, 18:39 Jerusalem, the digital signing triggered immediate implementation of Strait of Hormuz clauses.
What remains unverified: the full operational timeline for the MoU's implementation, whether additional parties will join, and whether the agreement's text will be released.
