US President Donald Trump may release details of a preliminary agreement with Iran before Friday, according to Vice President JD Vance.
The announcement comes after Trump said the agreement had already been signed. Vance described the memorandum of understanding (MoU) as a short, general framework that sets the direction for future negotiations.
Key Points
US-Iran agreement
Trump says the preliminary deal to end the war with Iran has been signed.
US officials say the agreement was electronically signed by Trump, JD Vance, and Iranian parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.
The formal signing ceremony is expected on Friday in Geneva.
The deal is expected to extend the ceasefire for 60 days while both sides negotiate a final agreement.
Strait of Hormuz reopening
US officials say the Strait of Hormuz will reopen on Friday.
The move would allow commercial shipping to resume through one of the world’s most important oil routes.
Nuclear negotiations
Vance says the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will be allowed to return to Iran.
Future talks will address Iran’s nuclear programme.
The US says sanctions relief and frozen assets will depend on Iran meeting its commitments.
Lebanon and Israel tensions
The agreement includes a framework for ending fighting across the region, including Lebanon.
However, Israeli forces are not required under the deal to withdraw from Lebanese territory.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel will keep forces in security areas in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza.
Iran warns that continued Israeli attacks or occupation in Lebanon would violate the agreement.
Reactions
Iran says it still has “deep mistrust” of the US but views the agreement as a step toward reducing tensions.
Lebanese officials welcomed the deal and called for an end to continued violence.
The G7 summit in France is expected to focus on the agreement and regional security.
The US-Iran agreement has reduced immediate fears of further escalation, but major issues remain unresolved, including Iran’s nuclear activities, sanctions relief, and Israel’s military presence in neighbouring territories.
