Iran-U.S. Agreement Could Be Signed Ahead of G7 Summit, Iranian Foreign Ministry Sources Say

Senior sources within Iran’s Foreign Ministry have confirmed that a potential agreement between Iran and the United States is expected to be signed on the sidelines of the upcoming G7 Summit.

The G7 leaders’ summit is scheduled to take place in Evian, France, from June 15 to June 17. According to a senior Iranian Foreign Ministry official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, the deal could be signed as early as June 14—one day before the summit begins—provided that current conditions remain stable and no efforts are made to derail the peace process.

The source said that Geneva has so far been agreed upon as the venue for the signing ceremony. Iran is expected to be represented by chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. The U.S. delegation is anticipated to include Vice President J.D. Vance, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner, son-in-law of President Donald Trump.

Pakistan is also expected to play a significant mediating role, with a high-level delegation from the Pakistani Foreign Ministry likely to attend the event.

The G7 summit is considered particularly important as the United Kingdom and France reportedly plan to present a European-led initiative aimed at clearing alleged naval mines from the Strait of Hormuz. The proposal is expected to require endorsement from President Trump.

Iran, however, has already denied allegations that it has planted mines in the strategically important waterway.

The summit is being hosted by France and will also be attended by European Council President Antonio Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

Discussions at the G7 gathering are expected to focus on developments in the Middle East, geopolitical challenges, peace and security in Ukraine and Europe, international partnerships, global economic growth, and the future of artificial intelligence.

The G7 comprises Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. France has also invited several non-G7 countries to participate in parts of the summit.
