Donald Trump says Iran peace deal to be signed soon at G7 summit

U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters at the G7 summit in France that a deal with Iran to end the Middle East war will be signed “shortly”, possibly on Thursday or Friday, with the formal signing expected in Geneva. He described the agreement as a memorandum of understanding rather than a final treaty and warned that any Iranian violation would be met with renewed bombing. Details reported by CNN suggest the accord would lift U.S. sanctions, unfreeze Iranian funds and grant access to a $300 billion development fund, while Iran would pledge not to pursue a nuclear weapon and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Trump thanked Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping for staying neutral. He hinted he might stay in Europe for the signing but also said he would take credit if it succeeded and blame Vice President JD Vance if it failed.
