President Trump confirmed to reporters that the US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding was signed during a dinner hosted by French President Macron at Versailles on June 17. A White House official said a photo of the signed agreement was sent to Iran and mediating countries to formally place the deal into effect. Iranian sources reported that at Tehran's insistence, both English and Persian versions were signed as official documents. The final text remained largely as previously reported, with revisions to Clauses 1 and 5 requested by Iran.
President Trump confirmed to reporters that the US and Iran signed the finalized Memorandum of Understanding during a dinner hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron at the Palace of Versailles on Wednesday evening. The signing caps a day of deepening formalization: as The Zioneer reported at 06:22 and 05:39, both sides had already confirmed the digital finalization of the accord earlier on Thursday. Tonight's physical ceremony adds a ceremonial dimension to a deal that has been evolving in public view since Wednesday night.
The thread unspooled rapidly. Reports of the signing began at 03:04 Jerusalem, when the White House confirmed Trump had signed the MoU at Versailles. By 05:39, parallel confirmation came from Tehran, with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian also signing. A stream of visual confirmations followed — footage of Trump signing alongside Macron, a photograph of Trump at the dinner table, and finally Thursday morning's images of Pezeshkian signing in Tehran, published by Iranian state media. What began as single-source reports from Israeli outlets grew into multi-channel confirmation spanning both governments. The latest development, per the draft, is that Iranian sources reported that at Tehran's insistence, both English and Persian versions were signed as official documents, with revisions to Clauses 1 and 5 requested by Iran.
As The Zioneer reported on Tuesday, the 14-point framework grants Iran joint governance of the Strait of Hormuz and provides tens of billions in unrestricted funds, while omitting an explicit IDF withdrawal clause from southern Lebanon — though analysts note the text sets the stage for diplomatic pressure on Israel. Hezbollah and Iranian officials have continued to claim the deal requires Israel to cease operations against Hezbollah and withdraw from southern Lebanon, a claim unsupported by any U.S. public outline.
What remains open includes the degree of Senate Republican opposition and the specifics of Clauses 1 and 5 — their wording and impact on Iran's enrichment program and ballistic missile capabilities are not yet publicly detailed.
