President Donald Trump used the G7 summit in Évian-les-Bains, France, to announce what he described as a clear commitment from Iran: no nuclear weapons. The memorandum of understanding, revealed on June 16, contains language Trump characterized as unequivocal on the subject of Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
The document is a single page with 14 points, a framework designed to guide detailed talks that are expected to follow in the coming days and weeks.
What the memorandum actually says, and what it doesn’t
Trump emphasized that the MOU explicitly states Iran will not acquire or possess nuclear weapons. He also warned of severe consequences should Tehran pursue nuclear arms capability.
The full text of the memorandum has not been released. Trump indicated plans to publish it in a formal setting, with a signing ceremony expected in Geneva potentially by June 19.
