Iran-US Agreement: Trump Claims Signing Completed, Details to Be Released Soon

US President Donald Trump announced that the agreement to end the conflict with Iran has been signed, and its details will soon be made public. “I am very pleased to announce that the signing has taken place,” he stated during discussions with French President Emmanuel Macron at the G7 summit. Senior US officials have begun to disclose aspects of the agreement in detail. They noted that formal signing occurred in Geneva on the same day that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen. Technical talks regarding Iran’s nuclear program are also expected to commence this week. US officials indicated that the lifting of sanctions on Iran and unfreezing of its assets will depend on Iran’s demonstrated commitment to the agreement.

US Vice President Mike Pence told CNN on Monday that the framework of the agreement is “one and a half pages long.” He indicated that further discussions on more detailed issues would take place in the coming days. Pence summarized that Iran has committed “to regional peace and stability,” including halting financial support to “terrorist organizations,” according to his claim. “Even more importantly, Iran is prepared to make an official commitment not to develop nuclear weapons,” Pence added. According to US officials, the agreement has been electronically signed by Trump, Pence, and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. They revealed that additional details of the agreement will be released by Tuesday. Trump stated that following the signing ceremony on Friday, the complete details of the agreement would be made public “soon.” “This document is extremely powerful, and I want to release it as quickly as possible,” he said.

According to the current agreement, both parties will maintain a ceasefire for an additional 60 days, during which remaining issues will be resolved. Despite the agreement between the US and Iran, conflict between the Israeli army and the Iran-backed Hezbollah group continues in Lebanon. Previously, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif announced the agreement to “immediately end all military operations permanently across all fronts, including Lebanon.” Pakistan has been mediating in talks between the US and Iran. US officials said Lebanon has been included in the ceasefire arrangement, though Israel’s withdrawal condition from Lebanon is not covered. Officials stated that Israel retains the right to self-defense. On Monday evening, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also said that if necessary, Israeli troops would remain in key security areas of Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza. The US President directed the removal of the maritime blockade on Iran on Sunday, and immediately after signing, the Strait of Hormuz would reopen. He mentioned on social media that oil-carrying ships departed toward Hormuz on Monday. Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi told Iranian state television in a phone interview that after 14-15 hours of talks, a draft agreement was finalized. He described the outcome as a victory for Iran.
