The document is signed, but details remain secret, Trump: Agreement is ready, what changes now for Iran and Israel

United States President Donald Trump has announced that the preliminary agreement between Washington and Tehran to end the conflict in the Middle East has already been signed, while the official signing ceremony is expected to take place in Geneva on Friday.
The news was made public during the G7 summit in France, where Trump said the document was completed and represents an important step towards reducing tensions in the region. According to him, the agreement is a strong document aimed at ending a long period of clashes between the United States and Iran.
American sources announce that the deal is signed electronically by President Donald Trump, vice president J.D. Vance and the president of the Iranian Parliament. However, its complete text has not yet been made public, leaving many questions open about the content and details of the commitments made by both sides.
U.S. Vice President J.D. himself. Vance has declared that the memorandum of understanding is relatively short and contains only the basic framework of the agreement. According to him, most important issues will be resolved during technical negotiations to be held in the coming weeks.
One of the main points of the agreement relates to the Iranian nuclear programme. Washington seeks verifiable guarantees that Tehran will not develop nuclear weapons, while Iran seeks to ease sanctions and gradually restore to normal economic relations.
According to information published so far, the agreement envisions the completion of the US naval blockade to Iranian ports, the reopening of the Hormuz Strait and the launch of a 60-day period of intensive negotiations for reaching a final agreement.
Hormuz Strait remains one of the most important elements of the process. This sea route is considered vital to global energy trade, for through it exceeds much of the world's oil exports. However, there is still no complete clarity on how the navigation regime will function in the area, as there are different interpretations between American statements and Iranian positions.
The US administration has announced that any lifting of sanctions or the release of frozen Iranian funds will depend on the fulfillment of the obligations Tehran assumes during the negotiation process.
On the other hand, Iranian authorities have welcomed the agreement as a result of long negotiations conducted with Qatar's mediation, but have stressed that distrust of the United States remains high. According to Tehran, the agreement represents only a first step towards reducing tensions and not the final resolution of disputes between the two countries.
Developments have also sparked reactions in Israel. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel will not allow in any circumstances Iran to be equipped with nuclear weapons and stressed that, even though it co-operates closely with the American administration, it does not necessarily agree with every aspect of the agreement.
Netanyah also made it clear that Israeli forces will continue to stay in areas Israel considers strategic for its security, including parts of Lebanon, Syria and Gaza.
Meanwhile, tensions on the ground have not fully waned. New military incidents have been reported in southern Lebanon, while Hezbollah has announced missile attacks and fears against Israeli targets. US authorities have clarified that the ceasefire involved in the agreement does not automatically imply the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanese territory.
The agreement has also received support from European leaders. Great Britain, France, Germany and Italy have declared that Iran should never be equipped with nuclear weapons, but have also left open the possibility of easing sanctions if Tehran takes concrete and verifiable steps.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer described development as a very important step towards stability in the Middle East and towards restoring security to one of the most tense regions of the world.
As the official signing ceremony approaches, the international community's attention is focused on the negotiations that will follow. Many analysts estimate the real challenge will not be signing the document, but its implementation and the ability of the parties to preserve the agreement in a region where balances remain too fragile. /Periscope
