Trump Signed the Iran Deal at Versailles — The Same Palace as 1919

History Onion · 2:58

On June 17, 2026, President Trump signed a US–Iran peace deal at the Palace of Versailles — the same palace where the 1919 Treaty of Versailles ended World War I and helped set the stage for an even deadlier one. But this time it isn't even a treaty: it's a memorandum that pauses the war for 60 days and leaves Iran's nuclear program unresolved. America went to war to end that program — and walked out bargaining over the Strait of Hormuz, a crisis the war itself created. So who actually won? A short history of the most famous peace ever signed at Versailles — and the warning it carries for the one just signed there. Some scenes are cinematic reconstructions of documented events. All quotes, dates, and sources are historically verified. #Iran #IranWar #Versailles #IranDeal #Trump #StraitOfHormuz #History
