A report in the United States says four American military aircraft carrying equipment for Vice President JD Vance have departed for Europe ahead of a planned signing ceremony of a US-Iran agreement, according to Israeli media citing US sources.
A report originating in the United States says four US Air Force transport aircraft carrying equipment for Vice President JD Vance have departed for Europe, in preparation for a signing ceremony of an agreement between the US and Iran. The report comes hours after a diplomat from a mediating country told Israeli journalist Barak Ravid that the US and Iran had reached agreement on the text of a deal, with Vance potentially flying to Geneva for the signing. As The Zioneer reported earlier (BACKGROUND bulletins at 05:00 and 06:48 Jerusalem), multiple C-17 aircraft had already moved toward Ramstein and Spangdahlem air bases in Germany. The latest report adds that the planes are carrying White House communications gear and motorcade equipment. The White House has not officially confirmed the trip or the deal text. i24NEWS, a recognized source in this batch, carried the report but did not name its originating US outlet; the report is framed as a developing story pending official confirmation from Washington or Jerusalem.
