US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the agreement with Iran could be signed by early next week, according to a report. The remark is the latest in a series of administration predictions of an imminent deal, following similar statements by President Trump, Vice President Vance, and an unnamed senior US official over recent days. Bessent's phrasing—'by the start of next week'—is slightly less specific than Trump's Sunday or Monday timeline, but maintains the administration's public posture that a signing is near. No final accord has been announced, and no venue has been confirmed.
As The Zioneer reported June 9–12, the administration has consistently signaled a deal within days or next week, while Israeli officials—including PM Netanyahu—have voiced reservations. Iran's Foreign Ministry confirmed that decision-making bodies are meeting regarding the memorandum but said it could not confirm media reports. The emerging agreement would reportedly see all enriched uranium removed from Iran, though details remain unconfirmed by either party.
