Trump May Release Preliminary Iran Agreement Before Friday, Says J.D. Vance
Washington: U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance has said that President Donald Trump could release the preliminary agreement document related to ending the conflict with Iran before Friday.
According to media reports, Vance’s remarks came shortly after President Trump announced that an agreement had already been signed. He described the document as a brief and broadly written framework, approximately one and a half pages long, outlining the basic understanding between the two sides.
Senior U.S. officials have also shared additional details, stating that a formal signing ceremony is scheduled for Friday. Officials added that the Strait of Hormuz is expected to reopen fully on the same day as part of the agreement’s implementation.
Reports indicate that five vessels have already passed through the strategic waterway, signaling a gradual return to normal maritime activity.
The development comes as President Trump attends the G7 Summit in France, where a special meeting on Iran is expected to take place. Leaders from Egypt, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates are also expected to participate in discussions.
Earlier, during a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron, Trump expressed satisfaction with the progress, saying that the agreement had been completed and all major issues had been resolved.
U.S. officials said the document was electronically signed by President Donald Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.
Officials further revealed that technical negotiations concerning Iran’s nuclear program are expected to begin later this week. Any future sanctions relief or return of frozen assets will depend on Iran’s compliance with the commitments outlined in the agreement.
While President Trump previously indicated that details of the deal would be made public after Friday’s ceremony, Vance told Fox News that the administration may decide to release the document earlier.
Speaking separately, Vance said the memorandum serves as a general framework and that many specific details will be determined during future negotiations.
According to Vance, the document includes commitments by Iran to support regional peace and stability, halt financial support for militant organizations, and provide verifiable assurances that it will not pursue nuclear weapons.
The agreement is being viewed as an important step toward reducing tensions and opening the door for broader diplomatic engagement between Washington and Tehran.
