The US and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding at the Palace of Versailles on Wednesday, French and American officials said. The signing occurred near Paris, with French President Emmanuel Macron and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio attending.

French first lady Brigitte Macron and President Trump also appeared at the ceremony. The White House released images of the signing on social media.

Formal dinner: a man in a dark suit signs a document at a long table with candles and a floral centerpiece; a blonde woman in white lace sits left; others in suits stand nearby in a hall.

The agreement moved up the timeline for negotiations between Washington and Tehran. The two nations scheduled talks for Friday.

The memorandum addresses ongoing tensions between the US and Iran. Officials have not disclosed the terms.

The signing at Versailles comes after months of negotiations. The palace has hosted major international agreements in the past.
