[83401] Reports on Iran-US agreement: Tehran avoided marking Trump's birthday
Reports indicate that Iran delayed the signing of the agreement with the US to avoid overlapping with Donald Trump's birthday. Meanwhile, senior Iranian officials are expected to arrive in Geneva.
Behind the scenes of the emerging agreement: Iran and Trump
According to reports on Vahid Online وحید آنلاین, Tehran deliberately delayed finalizing the details of the agreement with the United States until after midnight, in an effort to avoid marking the event on President Donald Trump's birthday, which fell on June 14. Iranian sources told The New York Times that they sought to prevent a situation where the political event would be identified with Trump's birthday.
The report points to the existence of a seven-and-a-half-hour time difference between Tehran and Washington, a gap utilized by both sides to present different narratives regarding the timing of the agreement's signing. While Trump claimed that the deal was finalized on Sunday, in Iran they insisted that the process was completed the following day, as noted in the Vahid Online report.
Simultaneously, various Telegram channels, among them اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری and اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا حمله, reported, based on The New York Times, that senior Iranian regime officials, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Abbas Araghchi, are expected to fly to Geneva for the formal signing of the agreement.
It should be noted that the sources reported here rely mainly on cited foreign reports, focusing on the Iranian narrative regarding the reasons for the delay, a narrative that attempts to demonstrate independence in the face of American policy.
