US Vice President JD Vance says the deal with Iran was signed electronically over the weekend, suggesting that its terms are now in place and that Iran is not receiving any new financial relief, according to CNN.

“We already signed the deal digitally yesterday, and there’s been no money released. And that won’t change,” Vance says on ABC’s ‘Good Morning America’.

While an electronic signing of the deal had been floated before it was agreed to, it had not been clear until now that such an event had transpired.

He adds that the text of the deal will be released this week.
