US President Donald Trump said Wednesday he expected the accord with Iran ending the Middle East war to be signed “shortly” but cast uncertainty over the exact date.
“The deal we reached with Iran on Sunday will be signed shortly, tomorrow (Thursday), maybe the next day (Friday),” Trump said at the G7 summit, after previous announcements that it would be signed on Friday in Switzerland with Vice President JD Vance representing the US.

“We are going to most likely sign a deal,” he added.
Trump told reporters at the final press conference of the G7 that he was prepared to “bomb the hell” out of Iran if they violated the agreement.
“If they are not behaving they will be hit again,” he said.
But he added: “They don’t want to get bombed, they don’t want to get hit.”
Trump said he “might” stay in Europe for the signing but added that as a memorandum of understanding “it might not be the kind of a document I should be signing.”
Asked if sending Vance to the signing rather than going himself was to avoid blame if it did not work out, Trump replied: “I like that idea.”
“If it works out I am going to take the credit, if it doesn’t work out I’m blaming JD! You better be careful JD! He is going to turn his plane around and get the hell out of here!”
