A senior US official confirmed to reporters that President Donald Trump has signed the deal with Iran and that it is now in effect, according to a report carried by The Times of Israel. The statement is the first explicit confirmation from an American official that the agreement has been formalized and is binding.
The official did not disclose the specific terms of the deal or the venue and mechanism of the signing. The confirmation follows a day of speculation and cross-referencing by Israeli and international media, after hours of earlier statements from President Trump that appeared to suggest a concluded agreement.
As The Zioneer has reported in recent days, the emerging US-Iran accord has been described by Trump as an 'excellent settlement' ending the war with Iran. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei had earlier confirmed the formal signing of a memorandum of understanding, and Axios separately reported that the two countries signed the MOU electronically. The new official confirmation places the deal's status on firmer evidentiary ground, though the full text and scope remain undisclosed.
