Vance says Iran deal signed digitally, rules out further financial relief

US Vice President JD Vance has said that the agreement with Iran was electronically signed over the weekend, indicating that its provisions are already in effect and that no additional financial relief has been extended to Tehran. Speaking on ABC’s Good Morning America, he stated that the deal had been “digitally signed” the previous day and confirmed that no funds have been released under the arrangement, adding that this position will remain unchanged. Vance also noted that the full text of the agreement is expected to be made public later this week. According to him, the US anticipates that the Strait of Hormuz will remain open and toll-free in the long term, as part of broader expectations linked to the deal. Vance further said that Iran’s foreign minister and parliamentary speaker are expected to attend the signing ceremony in Zurich on Friday, although several aspects of the agreement are still being finalised. Meanwhile, Iran’s Foreign Ministry has said that it has not yet been confirmed who will officially sign the agreement on Tehran’s behalf. Esmaeil Baghaei reiterated that Iran is not interested in imposing “tolls,” but expects to recover the “cost of services provided”. Lebanon Ceasefire Key Part of Iran-US MoU, Says Baghaei
