Amid preparations for the G7 summit in Évian-les-Bains, in the French Alps, a tense diplomatic game is unfolding. According to leading global media outlets, the US and Iran could reach an agreement on a ceasefire and the restoration of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz within the coming days. Geneva is being considered as the potential location for the historic signing ceremony.

Diplomatic Marathon in Switzerland

Reports of a potential breakthrough in relations between Washington and Tehran have appeared in materials from Axios, CNN, and Bloomberg. Agency sources indicate that the ceremony could take place just before or during the G7 summit, which is scheduled for June 15–17.

Geneva was chosen for a reason. Delegations of the world’s leading economies will arrive at the Swiss airport before transferring to Évian-les-Bains, located near the border. This creates a unique window of opportunity to conduct negotiations and sign documents in a neutral and logistically convenient location as early as Sunday.

Agreement Format and Deal Conditions

According to Bloomberg, the document will likely take the form of a memorandum of understanding rather than a final peace treaty. This suggests that both sides aim to formalize current progress while leaving details for further elaboration.

The preliminary text of the agreement, as reported by Axios, includes key provisions:

  • Extension of the ceasefire regime for 60 days.
  • Easing of sanctions pressure against Iran.
  • Restoration of shipping in the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.

Official Stance and Uncertainty

US President Donald Trump has already stated that the war with Iran is effectively over. According to him, Tehran has agreed never to possess nuclear weapons, made possible by an “excellent settlement.” Trump added that the relevant document could be signed in Europe within the coming days, and US Vice President JD Vance may participate in the ceremony.

However, G7 sources urge caution. One official noted that Iran has not yet confirmed its readiness for the signing ceremony. Communication between the two governments has remained slow since the escalation of the conflict in February, creating risks of last-minute collapse of the agreement.
