US Vice President JD Vance told CNBC on Monday that the text of the nuclear deal with Iran is expected to be published this week. He said the agreement includes a long-term commitment to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons and strips Tehran of the financial resources needed to rebuild its program. Vance added that Iran's parliament speaker, foreign minister and other senior officials are expected to represent Tehran at the signing ceremony.
US Vice President JD Vance provided new details on the emerging US-Iran nuclear agreement in an interview with CNBC on Monday afternoon, confirming that the text is expected to be published within the week.
Vance stated that Iran will be represented at the signing ceremony by its parliament speaker, foreign minister, and other senior officials, a disclosure that implies the formalization process is further along than previously indicated. He described the deal as containing a long-term commitment that would permanently prevent Iran from developing or obtaining nuclear weapons, and said it would deny Tehran the financial resources needed to rebuild its nuclear program.
These remarks follow a series of Vance statements on the deal in recent days. On Sunday he signaled he would attend the signing in Geneva and that President Trump may also participate, despite Secret Service concerns about joint travel. On Friday he rebutted what he called 'false information' about the agreement, insisting Iran receives no upfront cash. As The Zioneer previously reported, Vance has also acknowledged that Washington's nuclear deal priority may not fully align with Israeli preferences.
The expected publication of the text and the senior Iranian delegation arrangement suggest the agreement is moving toward formalization, though the precise timeline remains unconfirmed. Vance's quoted phrasing did not specify the location or exact date of the signing.
