Trump and Iranian President Officially Sign Peace Agreement

The peace plan between the United States (US) and Iran has entered a new chapter. The presidents of both countries have now signed a peace agreement to end the war.

Trump signed the memorandum of understanding during a dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Palace of Versailles following the G7 summit on Wednesday evening (17/6). “Just signed it,” Trump said as he left the palace, according to AFP on Thursday (18/6/2026).

Separately, the Iranian government also confirmed it had signed the agreement to end the war with the US. “The text of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding has been finalised with the signatures of the presidents — now it is time to test the implementation of the agreement,” said Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei, as quoted by state news agency IRNA.

He stated that the signing was carried out electronically and remotely by both presidents, and that an official ceremony “does not have much place” in Iran’s plans. The Swiss government had previously said a signing ceremony would be held on Friday (19/6) at a luxury hotel in the mountains overlooking Lake Lucerne, with Iranian Parliament Speaker Bagher Ghalibaf and US Vice President JD Vance in attendance.

“When the text is signed by the highest officials of both countries, violating it will certainly incur greater costs, and given our experience, we prefer this to happen,” Baqaei said. The text of the agreement was released on Wednesday (17/6) by both sides. A two-month negotiation period will follow, with the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz as the first step.
