In Tehran, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said a presidential signing ceremony remained “on the table”, while officials in Washington stressed that the agreement was still preliminary and that either side could walk away before a final deal is reached. Speaking at the close of the G7 summit in France, Trump defended the accord, saying it had helped avert a wider economic crisis triggered by the conflict that erupted after US and Israeli strikes on Iran in February.
