President Donald Trump stated that the signing of the emerging agreement could take place in Europe this weekend, and that Vice President JD Vance would attend on his behalf, according to Israeli media reports.
In his latest remarks, reported at 21:52 Jerusalem, President Donald Trump stated that the signing of the emerging deal with Iran could take place in Europe this weekend, with Vice President JD Vance attending on his behalf. This adds a specific envoy detail to the thread of signals about a nearing finalization.
The desk has tracked this development through multiple updates. At 22:38 Jerusalem, Trump said Iran 'will never hold nuclear weapons' under the deal and that signing could happen this weekend. By 22:43 Jerusalem, he confirmed speaking with Prime Minister Netanyahu and described the documents as in a 'fairly final stage,' adding that the Strait of Hormuz would reopen upon signing. The thread shows a progression from a general hint at a European venue (reported at 21:52 Jerusalem by Amit Segal/N12) to increasingly specific statements about timing and attendance, with multiple Israeli news outlets converging on the details.
As The Zioneer has reported in this thread, the deal's framework emerged following reported Qatari mediation and conversations with Netanyahu and the Emir of Qatar. A previous assessment cited by the desk noted uncertainty in the timeline — Vance himself had reportedly said the signing could come in a week or take months, per a June 9 report.
The specific European venue remains unconfirmed, and Trump's latest statement does not name a city or country. No Iranian or European official has publicly confirmed the arrangement.
