Paris: The US-Iran deal may be made public before its official signing ceremony later this week, US Vice-President JD Vance has indicated. The announcement follows comments by President Donald Trump, who stated that the preliminary agreement had already been signed electronically by representatives from both sides.
Vance described the memorandum of understanding as a brief framework document spanning around one and a half pages. According to the vice-president, the agreement establishes broad commitments while leaving many technical details to be resolved during future negotiations.
Senior US officials have also revealed that the Strait of Hormuz is expected to reopen on Friday, coinciding with the formal signing ceremony scheduled to take place in Geneva. The strategic waterway has remained heavily disrupted during the conflict and is considered one of the world’s most important routes for oil and gas shipments.
The President has been clear from day one: Iran will never have a nuclear weapon.

Under the US-Iran deal, technical discussions on Iran’s nuclear programme are expected to begin this week. Officials stated that sanctions relief and the release of frozen assets will depend on Iran meeting obligations outlined in the agreement. The framework also includes commitments related to regional stability and measures designed to prevent the development of nuclear weapons.
Vance stated that the agreement contains provisions requiring verifiable commitments from Iran regarding nuclear activities. US officials further indicated that international inspectors and American authorities would assist in addressing Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched nuclear material as part of the broader framework.
The agreement will extend the current ceasefire by an additional 60 days while negotiators work towards a final settlement. Meanwhile, discussions surrounding regional security continue, with leaders attending the G7 summit in France expected to focus heavily on developments linked to the US-Iran deal and its implications for Middle East stability.
