Trump: Signing Ceremony for Iran Deal to be Held Soon

While tensions in the Middle East have reached their peak, US President Donald Trump announced on Thursday, June 11, 2026, that he has canceled planned military strikes against Iran. He claimed that the Iranian leadership has agreed to a draft comprehensive agreement and that the signing ceremony for this peace treaty will be held soon [2][3]. This news, which initially created a wave of optimism in global markets, has been met with mixed reactions in Tehran and regional capitals.

Details of the Peace Agreement and Reopening of the Strait of Hormuz According to published reports, this agreement, referred to as a "strong memorandum of understanding," includes the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz for international shipping without tolls [3][6]. Additionally, the plan includes a 60-day ceasefire that also encompasses Lebanon. In return, the United States has committed to ending the naval blockade of Iran and lifting part of the sanctions based on Tehran's compliance with its commitments [4][6].

One of the key clauses of this agreement is Iran's commitment to dismantling its nuclear weapons program and stopping high-concentration uranium enrichment. A senior Trump administration official said: "We are very close to the finish line, but we haven't quite crossed it yet" [4].

Role of Logistics and Turkish Mediation The Ankara-based newspaper "24 Saat Gazetesi" reported that diplomatic logistics operations for the ceremony have already begun. According to this report, four US Air Force C-17 aircraft have departed for Europe to prepare for the possible presence of Vice President JD Vance at the signing ceremony in Geneva or Vienna [1]. Trump also expressed gratitude in his remarks for the role of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in facilitating these negotiations, calling him "very effective" in reaching this stage [1.3.5].

Cautious Reaction from Tehran and Market Fluctuations Despite Trump's optimism, the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has taken a more cautious stance. Esmaeil Baghaei, the Ministry's spokesperson, stated that although many parts of the text have been finalized, a "final decision" has not yet been made [5][7]. Iranian domestic media also reminded that Trump has repeatedly announced the proximity of a deal in recent months without any tangible results being achieved [7].

Nevertheless, global markets reacted positively to this news. Brent oil prices fell below $90 per barrel, and stock indices in Asia, particularly in South Korea and Japan, saw a significant jump [1.1.2][1.1.3]. Analysts believe that if this agreement is signed, it could end a three-month war that had posed a serious threat to the global economy.
