The Trump administration is hailing a potential peace agreement between the U.S. and Iran, but the official text of the deal has yet to be publicly released.On Tuesday, President Donald Trump said the deal likely won’t be unveiled until it’s officially signed in Switzerland Friday. “I’d like to get a formal setting first before we do that, but I have no problem with it,” Trump told reporters while attending the G7 Summit in France. “It’s a great document. Here’s what it says: Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. That’s what it says. They won’t have one to buy, to develop. They will not have a nuclear weapon.”Earlier this week, Vice President JD Vance also stated the deal had already been digitally signed. Still, critical questions linger on what exactly is in the deal.According to senior administration officials, the agreement includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz “toll-free”, as Trump has put it, for now. The move would restore the strait to its pre-war condition. But it’s also unclear what could happen long-term as Iran says it may charge for future services in the Strait.Officials also say the deal requires Iran to stop funding regional terrorist groups. In exchange, officials said Iran’s frozen funds would be released, and sanctions on the country would be eased. The agreement reportedly opens up a 60-day window for further talks that could dismantle Iran’s nuclear program and remove its nuclear material. But some lawmakers have expressed skepticism about whether the deal will prevent Iran from building a nuclear weapon and have called for more information and a chance to review the agreement. Trump said Monday he’s open to the prospect. “I like the idea,” Trump said. “I never thought about sending, never even thought about it, but I will. I will send it to Congress.”Still, one major issue could derail the agreement: Iran insists the deal requires Israel to withdraw its troops from Lebanon. However, a U.S. official said the deal does not include any such provision, and Israeli officials say their forces will not leave. Meanwhile, Iranian-backed militant group Hezbollah, based in Lebanon, has vowed to continue fighting until Israel withdraws.Watch the latest coverage on the war in Iran:
