White House releases footage of Trump signing Iran MoU at Versailles dinner with Macron

TL;DR

The White House has released official footage showing U.S. President Donald Trump signing the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding during a dinner in Versailles, France, alongside French President Emmanuel Macron. Iran separately confirmed it had signed the MoU.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Iran has confirmed that it signed the memorandum of understanding with the United States, and the White House simultaneously released footage of President Donald Trump signing the document during an official dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron at Versailles. The footage represents the first visual confirmation of the signing ceremony itself, following hours of conflicting reports over the status and timing of the deal.

Earlier Thursday morning, a photograph by journalist Keren Bezalel showed Macron standing beside Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian at what was described as the signing ceremony, with applause in the background — as The Zioneer reported at 05:12. The IRGC's official confirmation and the White House statement followed earlier overnight reports that the signing had occurred.

President Trump previously stated that he had given Israel a copy of the agreement (reported by The Zioneer on June 17). He has also suggested he might read the full text of the MoU aloud in a press conference. The sudden emergence of multiple visual records — both the Keren Bezalel image and the White House's own footage — appears to resolve days of ambiguity about whether and when the formal signing took place.
