President Trump Signs Memorandum Ending Iran War

The war between the United States and Iran has officially come to an end.

President Donald J. Trump personally signed the memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran, ending more than 100 days of conflict and bringing a tenuous peace between Washington and Tehran.

Because the president has already signed the document, a signing ceremony that was to take place in Geneva, Switzerland, was not needed.

Trump signed the document during a dinner with President Emmanuel Macron at the Palace of Versailles.

A photo of the agreement was sent to the Iranians and the mediating countries, the official said.

As Trump left the dinner, Macron pointed to the palace outside. The two men then embraced and said goodbye.

French reporters asked the president whether he had signed the document, to which he replied, "It's signed. We signed it in Versailles. We just signed it."

President Masoud Pezeshkian signed for the Iranian side, the outlet said.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei also said Wednesday that plans for the negotiating teams to travel to Geneva remain in place despite the cancellation of the formal signing event.

According to Iran International, a source close to the negotiating team, cited by the IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News Agency said Tehran also insisted that a Persian-language version of the MOU be prepared and formally signed by both parties.

The source said the Persian text has been recognized as an official version of the document alongside the original agreement.

As per the agreement, the Strait of Hormuz will be opened to traffic and the blockade against Iran’s ports will be lifted by the United States.
