Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Vance Says Iran Deal Already Signed
Caption: Vance Says Iran Deal Already Signed. Vice President JD Vance says the Trump administration has already digitally signed its agreement with Iran and expects to release the full text later this week. Speaking in a series of U.S. media interviews, Vice President Vance said American officials electronically signed the deal on Sunday, while a formal signing ceremony is expected to take place in Switzerland on Friday. The agreement is designed to end the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a key global shipping route, although few details have been released so far. Trump celebrated the breakthrough on social media, urging global shipping to resume normal operations and declaring that oil should begin flowing freely again. Vance said the administration would seek strict verification measures to ensure Iran does not develop or obtain a nuclear weapon. He added that if Iran agrees to long-term nuclear restrictions, the United States would consider easing sanctions and improving economic ties with Tehran. However, he warned that Washington would continue applying economic pressure if Iran fails to meet its commitments under the agreement. Vance also rejected reports that the deal would immediately release billions of dollars in frozen Iranian assets or require the United States to fund reconstruction payments. He said some reports had exaggerated the benefits Iran could receive and argued that Tehran would also be required to make significant concessions under the agreement.
