Vance says text of U.S.-Iran deal will be released Friday "at the latest"

Vice President JD Vance announced Wednesday that the full text of the U.S.-Iran deal is expected to be released by Friday, stating, "We want to tell the American people what's in this deal." The White House is reportedly pushing for its release as early as Wednesday. President Trump had announced on Sunday that the U.S. had reached an agreement with Iran, though details remained undisclosed.

We want to tell the American people what's in this deal.

Vance described the agreement as "fundamentally a good deal for the American people." He indicated that the deal would immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Furthermore, it establishes a framework where Iran could receive economic benefits, including sanctions relief, in exchange for ceasing its support for terrorism and abandoning its pursuit of nuclear weapons. Vance stressed that Iran's benefits are conditional on Iran fundamentally transforming its behavior towards the United States, the region, and the world.

“

We've destroyed their nuclear program, but one of the things the president is trying to do is give them the incentive not to try to rebuild that program for the long haul.

Addressing concerns about the deal's specifics, Vance refuted claims that it includes $300 billion in reconstruction financing for Iran or the release of all frozen funds. He asserted that such benefits would only materialize if Iran undergoes a significant shift in its international conduct. The Vice President also mentioned that while the U.S. has "destroyed their nuclear program," the agreement aims to provide Iran with incentives to prevent its long-term rebuilding.

none of those things flow to Iran unless Iran fundamentally changes how it behaves with the world.

Earlier this month, Secretary of State Marco Rubio indicated U.S. assistance in clearing mines in the Strait of Hormuz, a growing concern for its reopening. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth added that the administration is taking undisclosed actions to ensure safe passage. Vance also relayed that Qatari and Pakistani negotiators, who mediated the agreement, had requested a delay in releasing the full text, but the U.S. is actively encouraging its prompt disclosure.
