The U.S. Vice President revealed that the agreement with Iran was digitally signed last Sunday, but the formal signing will still occur this Friday.
On Monday, 15 June 2026, U.S. Vice President JD Vance disclosed that the agreement with Iran had been digitally signed over the past weekend, indicating that the terms of the agreement are beginning to take effect, and that Iran has not received any new financial aid.
“We digitally signed the agreement yesterday, and no funds have been disbursed. This will not change,” Vance said on ABC’s Good Morning America.
Although the idea of electronically signing the agreement had been mentioned before reaching the deal, there had been no clear confirmation until now that such a digital signing had actually taken place.
Last Sunday, President Donald Trump announced that the official signing ceremony would be held in Switzerland this Friday (19 June) and stated that at least one condition—the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz—would not come into effect until then.
“When the strait reopens after the signing ceremony this Friday, for the purpose of clearing mines, oil will flow again on both sides for the region and the world!” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
A senior U.S. government official told CNN that both Trump and Vance have digitally signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Iran, and on Iran’s side, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, is the signatory.
However, the same official emphasized that the official signing ceremony will still take place as scheduled this Friday.
