U.S. President Donald Trump has stated that a preliminary agreement to end the war with Iran has already been signed, and the details of this deal will be released "very soon."

Speaking during talks with French President Emmanuel Macron at the G7 summit on Monday (June 16), he said, "I am very happy to say it’s been signed, fully signed."

Senior US officials have also begun providing some details regarding the contents of the agreement, stating that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen on Friday—the same day the deal is officially signed in Geneva.

They added that technical talks regarding Iran's nuclear program are expected to begin this week, though sanction relief or asset transfers will depend on Iran fulfilling its obligations under the agreement.

Meanwhile, US Vice President JD Vance told CNN’s Jake Tapper on Monday that the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between the US and Iran is "about a page and a half" and is a very basic document.

Vance further stated that many of its details would be worked out during future negotiations.

"On a number of things, we're going to have to hash those out in the technical discussion phase, but what this MoU does is create a framework whereby the Iranians benefit as they fulfill their obligations under the deal," he said.

The first paragraph of the document states that Iran will commit to maintaining regional peace and stability, which includes halting the financing of terrorist organizations, Vance noted.

"Most importantly, they will make a verifiable commitment not to develop nuclear weapons," Vance said.

Meanwhile, US officials said Trump, Vance, and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf signed the agreement electronically.

They also indicated that more details of the agreement could be released by Wednesday—though Trump said the full text of the deal would be made public after Friday's ceremony.

"It’s a very robust document, I want it out," Trump said.

The agreement will extend the ceasefire for another 60 days, during which time both sides will negotiate the details of a final deal.

Announcing the breakthrough on Sunday, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, whose country was mediating, said it includes an immediate and permanent cessation of military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon.
