U.S. and Iran Sign Memorandum on Ending War, Yet Trump Issues New Threats of "Bombing"

The United States and Iran have officially signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to end the war. With the leaders of both countries signing ahead of schedule, working-level negotiations are expected to begin immediately. Let’s connect with our correspondent for more details.

Kwon Yeongin, where are you currently reporting from?

I am currently in Bürgenstock, Switzerland.

Behind me is the resort where the U.S. and Iran were originally scheduled to hold the signing ceremony for the memorandum to end the war tomorrow, June 19.

Located on a mountaintop and bordered by a lake on the other side, the venue is highly secure.

I toured the interior of the resort a short while ago.

They are not accepting reservations until this Sunday, and signs announcing the summit, along with the flags of both the U.S. and Iran, are already on display.

However, the situation remains fluid.

This is because U.S. President Donald Trump officially signed the memorandum yesterday evening during a dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Palace of Versailles in France.

[Reaching this agreement was not easy. (Bravo.)]

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian also signed the document, and the memorandum to end the war has officially taken effect.

Because of this, there is speculation that the signing ceremony scheduled for tomorrow will be skipped, and the main negotiations will begin immediately.

Even though President Trump signed the agreement, did he also make remarks pressuring Iran again?

[Reporter]

President Trump stated that by signing the memorandum with Iran, he has achieved all his goals and even more.

He fiercely criticized the Iran nuclear deal from the Obama administration era and praised the current memorandum by attaching his own name to it.

At the same time, he noted that this memorandum is not the final version, and he did not miss the opportunity to threaten that if Iran fails to comply with the agreement, he would resume bombing.

Additionally, regarding the U.S. military's accidental bombing of an Iranian elementary school during the early stages of the war, which claimed the lives of at least 175 people including children and teachers, Trump had previously claimed it was a staged event by Iran.

This time, however, he effectively acknowledged U.S. responsibility, stating that mistakes can happen during wartime.
