President Donald Trump told reporters at the White House that the documents for a deal with Iran are in a final stage and that the agreement can be signed within days in Europe, with Vice President JD Vance attending. Trump added that he spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu and that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen upon signing, which may take place this weekend.
President Donald Trump told reporters at the White House on Tuesday evening (Jerusalem time) that the final documents for a US-Iran deal are ready and that the signing could take place this week in Europe, with Vice President JD Vance attending. Trump added that he had spoken with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and that the Strait of Hormuz would reopen upon signing, which may happen this weekend.
This latest statement builds on a thread of Trump's own rapid-fire announcements in the past hours. At 22:33 Jerusalem time, The Zioneer reported Trump saying he had spoken with Netanyahu and that the Strait of Hormuz would reopen once the deal is signed. That same version also noted Trump's plan to speak with Turkish President Erdogan. The current update adds the specific detail that the documents are in final form and that Vance will attend the signing. A broader bulletin, published at 22:39 Jerusalem time, had already flagged the Vance attendance and the documents being "almost final," making the current statement a confirmation of those details.
Over the past days, The Zioneer has reported on the fast-moving diplomatic timeline. On June 9 at 07:57 Jerusalem, Trump said a final nuclear deal was imminent and that he and Netanyahu had reached a "draw." By 13:48 that day, Trump wrote on Truth Social that both Israel and Iran wanted an immediate ceasefire and that a naval siege would remain until a final agreement. At 20:43 Jerusalem, Trump said the naval blockade would continue until the signing, with a venue and date to be announced. Meanwhile, on June 10 at 20:19 Jerusalem, an Israeli official told Channel 14 that the military was ready to "swiftly execute" an operation Trump had blocked, underscoring the delicate timing.
The broader context, as The Zioneer has reported, includes a series of Trump statements on the deal's progress, a helicopter crash in the Strait of Hormuz on June 9, and messages in Israeli media urging Trump not to "ruin" the emerging agreement. The full terms of the deal remain undisclosed; Trump described it as a "great deal" without specifics.
