President Trump stated the US-Iran deal is fully signed and the 'pressure is off,' as northern Israeli residents expressed alarm and demanded clarification from Prime Minister Netanyahu. Iranian officials reportedly plan to travel to Switzerland for the signing, and a Hezbollah source claimed the group has conducted no attacks on Israel since the ceasefire.
Northern Israeli residents pressed for clarity Monday evening as President Donald Trump declared the US-Iran deal is "fully signed" and the "pressure is off," according to i24NEWS. Earlier today at 08:34 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported Trump's successive statements on the agreement — from a historic deal that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz, to a guarantee that Iran will never possess nuclear weapons. By evening, the new reports cited Iranian sources saying the parliament speaker and foreign minister will travel to Switzerland to sign, and a Hezbollah source claimed the group has launched no attacks since the ceasefire on the Lebanese front. The Israeli security cabinet has been meeting in recent days; the prime minister's office has not yet responded to Trump's assertion of Israeli support for the deal.
The thread began at 08:34 Jerusalem this morning when The Zioneer first reported Trump's initial announcement that the Strait would reopen Friday. That same hour, a second version added that the U.S. naval blockade would be lifted immediately, with mine-clearing to follow. A third version — published at the same 08:34 timestamp — introduced Trump's guarantee that Iran will never have nuclear weapons. The reports were wholly attributed to Trump's statements as carried by Israeli media, with no on‑record confirmation from Jerusalem or Tehran. The evening i24NEWS dispatch added the detail of Iranian officials' travel plans and the Hezbollah claim, which remain attributed to unnamed sources.
As The Zioneer reported over the past week, Trump has repeatedly urged Prime Minister Netanyahu to accept the deal and avoid retaliation (Mon 00:30 Jerusalem; Sun 23:51 Jerusalem). The Washington Post described the agreement as "closed" with signing planned in Geneva or Rome (Fri Jun 12, 01:14 Jerusalem). Commentator Yair Goldblatt, cited in a bulletin at 19:22 Jerusalem, cautioned that most reports have been based on Iranian sources with an interest in making the deal look unfavorable, and advised waiting for the full text.
The full text of the agreement has not been published, and the prime minister's office has issued no official response. The IDF maintains a high state of alert on all fronts. Hezbollah's claim of no attacks since the ceasefire is unverified, and the discrepancy between Trump's declaration of a signed deal and Tehran's reported preparations for strikes — noted by a commentator at 23:49 Jerusalem — remains unresolved.
