A photograph from a dinner at the Palace of Versailles captures President Donald Trump signing the US-Iran memorandum of understanding, French media report. The image — published Thursday morning by Israeli news channels — shows Trump seated at a formal dinner table with the MoU document before him, adding a ceremonial dimension to the overnight accord that was also signed in parallel by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in Tehran. The signing, which The Zioneer reported on overnight, formalized a bilateral understanding that Trump has likened to the 1919 Treaty of Versailles.
A photograph from the Palace of Versailles gala dinner, circulated by Israeli news channels on Thursday morning, shows US President Donald Trump seated at a formal table with the memorandum of understanding document before him, moments after signing. French media reported the image, adding a visual record to an event that The Zioneer has tracked since overnight — when a senior US official first confirmed the deal was signed and in effect (Thu 00:34 Jerusalem). At that hour, The Zioneer reported the confirmation via Israeli media. Within the same minute, the thread recorded Trump's own on-camera confirmation as he exited Versailles, followed by an official White House statement, the IRGC's parallel Tehran confirmation, and then Iranian state media's release of images of President Pezeshkian signing an identical copy. By Thu 00:34, multiple sources — Israeli media, the US official, Trump's own words, the IRGC, and Iranian state imagery — had corroborated the bilateral signing from both sides, moving the story from single-source claim to multi-channel confirmed event.
Earlier this week, as The Zioneer reported (Wed 19:21 Jerusalem), Trump said he had given a copy of the accord to Israel. The venue — where the punitive 1919 Treaty of Versailles was signed — was noted by Trump himself, who compared the accord to that treaty and said the US is ensuring 'massive compensation' for Iran. The Zioneer also reported criticism from an Israeli commentator who called the signing 'one of the most shameful moments in US history' (Thu 03:33 Jerusalem), and a separate claim from Trump that other countries have agreed to the MoU (Thu 23:07 Jerusalem, June 11), though he did not name them.
The full text of the memorandum of understanding has not been published. Iran's Foreign Ministry, as reported by The Zioneer (Thu 00:34 Jerusalem), has stated that the country's defensive capabilities 'will not be discussed in any process or with any party,' leaving the scope of the accord open to question.
