Where Will the United States and Iran Sign the Expected Agreement?

Attention is turning to the location where negotiations between Washington and Tehran will move from closed-door discussions to an official signing ceremony.

On Thursday, U.S. President Donald Trump canceled new strikes that he had threatened to launch against Iran later in the evening, stating that common ground had been reached.

Speaking from the White House, he said: “We have just reached a great settlement to end the war with Iran, and once the documents are finalized, which should happen in the coming days, it is likely that the agreement will be signed, perhaps in Europe.”

Trump also indicated that Vice President JD Vance could sign the document as early as “the end of this week.”

However, he did not reveal any details regarding the content of the agreement, stating only that it would ensure the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz after signing and prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

Where Will the Signing Ceremony Take Place?

Although Trump did not specify the exact location of the ceremony, Axios reported, citing informed sources, that the U.S. president expects the signing ceremony to take place over the weekend, while officials continue finalizing the text of the agreement and determining the official date of the event.

According to the report, four U.S. C-17 military transport aircraft departed for Europe on Thursday carrying equipment in preparation for a possible trip by Vice President JD Vance to Geneva to attend the signing ceremony in the coming days.

If signed as planned, the agreement is expected to be called the “Islamabad Agreement,” in reference to the mediation efforts undertaken by Pakistan between the two sides. Mediators are continuing to coordinate in order to determine the final date and complete the formal procedures, according to the same source.
