During a proclamation signing ceremony in the Oval Office on June 11, Trump stated, "We have just reached a tremendous agreement regarding the war with Iran. We are only in the final coordination phase of the document." He added, "It will be finalized in the coming days, and the signing ceremony will likely occur this weekend in Europe."
While Trump mentioned he would not attend the signing, he confirmed that Vice President JD Vance would be present. He also noted that he has been in discussions with leaders from Israel and Gulf nations and plans to speak with the President of Turkey.
Trump indicated that the Strait of Hormuz would be opened immediately upon signing the agreement. He emphasized, "The most important aspect is that Iran will never possess nuclear weapons," asserting that Iran will not purchase or develop nuclear weapons in any form.
Earlier that day, Trump hinted at the possibility of additional attacks on Iran via his social media platform, Truth Social. However, he later announced that the planned airstrikes and bombings scheduled for that evening had been canceled due to approval from Iran's highest leadership level.
This marks a shift towards diplomatic solutions following military clashes between the U.S. and Iran. However, Iran has yet to officially confirm its acceptance of the agreement.
Reuters reported that while both sides have reached a political understanding, further discussions are needed regarding the release of frozen Iranian oil imports abroad and issues related to Iran's nuclear program. The Associated Press also noted that Iran has not officially confirmed its acceptance of the terms of the peace agreement with the U.S.
Trump has previously claimed that agreements with Iran were imminent, but those efforts did not materialize. When asked what makes this situation different, he replied, "Iran has suffered significant damage from U.S. military attacks, and they want the agreement more than I do."
