Trump expects swift signing of Iran deal, possibly Thursday

U.S. President Donald Trump indicated at the G7 summit that a framework agreement reached with Iran is nearing finalization. He stated, "The agreement we reached with Iran on Sunday will be signed shortly – tomorrow or perhaps the day after," suggesting a potential signing as early as Thursday. No further details were provided by the president regarding the specifics of the deal.

This accelerated timeline contrasts with the previously scheduled signing for Friday. Trump hinted that he might personally attend the signing ceremony in Europe, although Vice President JD Vance was initially expected to represent the U.S. in Switzerland for the event. The possibility of an earlier signing is reportedly being discussed to facilitate the earlier reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

According to the Axios portal, citing two sources familiar with the matter, an electronic signing process is being considered if the agreement is finalized ahead of schedule. Despite the potential shift in the signing date, the meeting in Switzerland planned for Friday is still expected to proceed, according to one of the sources.
