- Donald Trump says a 14-page agreement aimed at ending the war in Iran will be signed by the US and Tehran "shortly".
- He said in France today at the end of the G7 summit that it could be signed "tomorrow, maybe the next day" and admitted there could have been an economic catastrophe if the war had continued.
- A US official has given a briefing confirming the agreement's key points: the end of all fighting (including in Lebanon), the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the end of the US naval blockade of Iran's ports and a promise that Tehran will never develop a nuclear weapon.
- The agreement reportedly says the US and Iran "commit to negotiating and achieving the final deal in a maximum 60 days, extendable with mutual consent".
- Trump warned that if Iran "doesn't behave", the US will go back to dropping bombs "right smack in the middle of their head".
- Speaking to the media at the G7, Trump said at one point "let's call it the Trump deal" - as he defended the agreement, insisting it was better than a previous Barack Obama-era deal to control Iran's nuclear programme.
- However, he also joked he'd blame his vice president JD Vance if the deal didn't work.
Former President Donald Trump announced a potential 14-page agreement with Iran during the G7 summit, aimed at ending the ongoing conflict and preventing nuclear development. He stated the deal could be signed "shortly," possibly as soon as tomorrow.1
The agreement includes key points such as the end of all fighting, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and the cessation of the US naval blockade of Iranian ports. A US official confirmed that the deal commits both nations to negotiate a final agreement within a maximum of 60 days, extendable by mutual consent.34
Trump emphasized the importance of the deal, suggesting it would prevent an economic catastrophe that could arise from continued conflict. He defended the agreement as superior to the previous Obama-era deal, referring to it as the Trump deal. However, he also issued a stern warning to Iran, stating that if they "don't behave," the US would resume military action, saying they would drop bombs "right smack in the middle of their head."26
In a light-hearted moment, Trump joked about blaming his vice president, JD Vance, if the agreement fails, showcasing his characteristic blend of humor and seriousness in diplomatic matters.
“Donald Trump discussed a potential agreement with Iran to end the war, warning Tehran about nuclear weapons. He humorously mentioned he would blame his vice president if the deal does not succeed.”
