Iranian source denies report of Sunday agreement signing in Geneva

Published June 12, 2026 Updated June 12, 2026 07:57pm

An unnamed source close to Iran’s negotiating team has dismissed news reports that a deal is ready to be signed in Geneva on Sunday as “a complete lie”, Al Jazeera reports citing the semi-official Fars news agency.

“The claims by Trump and some foreign media outlets that the agreement has been finalised and is scheduled to be signed in Geneva on Sunday are completely untrue,” the source tells Fars.

Iran’s internal review and decision-making process has not yet been completed, the source adds.
