Speaking on the sidelines of the G7 summit, US President Donald Trump said the agreement reached with Iran is advancing to a second phase, which he expects “to go quickly.”
Trump said the Strait of Hormuz, closed during the conflict, would be open by Friday. He added that the full text of the deal would be released in “a formal setting” and that he would brief the media on its contents “in a couple of days.”
The principal outcome of the memorandum of understanding, Trump said, is a commitment that Iran “will never have a nuclear weapon.” JD Vance, speaking separately, acknowledged that some details of the agreement remain to be worked out.
The G7 meeting has served as the backdrop for a flurry of diplomatic activity around the Iran agreement. World leaders at the summit have been working to finalise loose ends as Trump publicly declared the deal “all signed” on June 15.
