Iranian source: full deal text withheld even after Friday signing

Primary source Internal intake · 4 reviewed intake signals · Desk window 12:24

TL;DR

An Iranian source told the Tasnim news agency that, by mutual agreement, the full text of the emerging deal between Iran and the US will not be published even after the signing ceremony on Friday. The source added that Israel had requested to see the text but was denied, according to the report relayed via Israeli channels.

01 · THE DISPATCH

An Iranian source told the semi-official Tasnim news agency that, by mutual understanding between Washington and Tehran, the full text of what has been described as a Trump-Khamenei deal will not be released to the public even after the signing ceremony scheduled for Friday. The source further stated that Israel had formally requested access to the document but was turned down. This latest claim arrives as a flurry of conflicting signals continues to surround the fast-moving diplomatic track between the US and Iran.

The desk's thread on this development began at 12:12 Jerusalem, when an initial report citing Iranian officials (via Assaf Rozentzweig) stated the full text of a US Memorandum of Understanding would not be published even after signing. Within the same minute, a version identifying the agreement as the Trump-Khamenei deal appeared, with a Tasnim source adding that the non-publication was by mutual agreement. By 12:12 as well, journalist Amit Segal (N12) reported, citing an anonymous Israeli source, that the text would be published only after the signing — contradicting the Iranian claim of total withholding. The present update consolidates the Iranian claim that the withholding will persist after the ceremony, and that Israel's reported request to see the text was denied.

As The Zioneer has previously reported, the exact date and venue of the signing have fluctuated in recent days. US Vice President Vance suggested the deal could be signed within a week, while Treasury Secretary Bessent said by the start of the next week. A US official at one point specified Sunday in Switzerland, while Trump himself raised the possibility of Friday with Vance attending. The Israeli security cabinet is scheduled to convene on the matter, as The Zioneer reported.

It remains unclear which of the conflicting timelines and venue reports is accurate, and whether the Iranian claim about the text being withheld is confirmed by other parties. The claim that Israel's request was denied has not been corroborated by Israeli officials or other independent sources at this time.
