Trump Could Release US-Iran Truce Deal Before Friday, Says Vance.

Vice President JD Vance says President Donald Trump might release a preliminary deal to end the war with Iran as early as this Friday or possibly even sooner.

According to Vance, the memorandum of understanding (MOU) is only "about a page and a half" and stays pretty general for now. Most of the real details will be hammered out later during technical talks. But for starters, the deal would reopen the Strait of Hormuz this Friday, the same day it's supposed to be formally signed in Geneva.

Trump, who's currently at the G7 summit in France, told reporters on Monday that the preliminary agreement is "all signed." US officials say it was signed electronically by Trump, Vance, and Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.

So what's actually in this one and a half page document? Vance broke it down simply: Iran promises to commit to "regional peace and stability" which includes cutting off funding to "terrorist organizations." Most importantly, Iran would also make a "verifiable commitment" to not build a nuclear weapon.

The deal extends a ceasefire for another 60 days, during which both sides will negotiate a final agreement. Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif whose country helped mediate announced the breakthrough on Sunday, saying it includes "the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon."

But not everyone's cheering. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made it clear Monday evening that Israeli forces will stay in security zones in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza "as long as necessary" and keep their right to self defense. In fact, Lebanese media already reported an Israeli strike on a car in the south the first since the truce was announced. Hezbollah fired back with missiles and drones.

Iran's foreign ministry struck a cautious note, saying Tehran still holds "deep mistrust" of the US and that this is "merely a step towards reducing tensions." Meanwhile, Iran's top military command framed it as total victory, saying the US and Israel had "no option but to accept defeat and surrender."

Lebanon's President Joseph Aoun welcomed the news, hoping it leads to "practical steps that will put a definitive end to the cycle of violence."

The big unresolved issues? Iran's nuclear enrichment program, Western demands that Iran never get a bomb, and Iran's push for full sanctions relief and access to billions in frozen oil revenues.
