President Trump declared that he intends to personally read aloud the full text of his new Iran deal once it is finalized, assuring reporters that nothing will be hidden from public view.
His confidence in the transparency of the agreement comes as his administration faces skepticism from lawmakers and allies who demand to know the details of the pact before offering their support.
Speaking from Evian les Bains, France, during a meeting with UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan at the G7 summit, Trump promised absolute clarity.
“I will not only release it, I will probably have a press conference and read it to you word by word so that the press covers it accurately,” he said with his characteristic flair for showmanship.

The president indicated that he would meet with the media in the coming days to review the document in person.
He remarked that he prefers to secure a formal signing first but has no hesitation about reading the deal publicly once it is complete.
A formal signing ceremony is expected to take place on Friday in Switzerland, featuring Vice President JD Vance and an Iranian delegation.
Trump and Vance have already affixed their electronic signatures to a memorandum of understanding that lays the groundwork for the full agreement.

The document, still under wraps, is rumored to contain extensive economic and strategic provisions designed to push Iran toward nuclear de escalation and broader normalization in the region.
Reports out of Washington suggest the administration wants the release to take place shortly after the formal signing, though a precise timing remains uncertain.
Trump himself noted that it might come “sometime after Friday,” allowing for any last minute adjustments before unveiling it to the public.
Lawmakers have expressed frustration over the secrecy, particularly Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and senior congressional leaders who have not yet seen the text.
Netanyahu has publicly stated that he has not received a copy, even though Israel has been a key military partner in the ongoing campaign against Iranian proxies.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune said simply, “Well, we’ll get briefed when there’s text available, I assume.”
The message was clear that Congress expects transparency before ratifying any finalized deal.
So far, only a few high level details have been confirmed.
The Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for global oil shipments, will remain open toll free for 60 days while negotiations continue regarding how to reduce Iran’s supply of highly enriched uranium.
The United States has described broader plans for a 300 billion dollar Gulf Arab funded infrastructure investment initiative that would coincide with phased sanctions relief for Tehran.
This relief would depend on whether Iran follows through on dismantling parts of its nuclear program and halting aid to terror groups throughout the Middle East.
Trump told reporters that he is confident the remaining issues will be worked out quickly.
“I don’t know, it is a 60 day period or so. I think it is going to happen fairly on time,” he said.
“We have both been involved. Iran wants to get it done. They want to get back to business. Their relationship is now normalized, so I think it is going to go quickly.”
WATCH:
His remarks underline a clear shift from the Obama era approach, which critics faulted for excessive secrecy and weak enforcement.
This time, Trump is determined to position himself as the dealmaker who brings transparency and results where past administrations failed.
The announcement also fits Trump’s familiar pattern of controlling his own narrative and keeping the media spotlight exactly where he wants it, on him.
His promise to read the entire agreement word by word ensures that journalists will not be able to spin the content without the public hearing it directly from him.

It is vintage Trump, confident and combative, daring the press to distort his words when he is literally reading the contract aloud.
For his allies, this level of openness is a signal that the administration is not afraid of scrutiny. For his opponents, it is likely to provoke the usual outrage.
Either way, Trump seems uninterested in quiet diplomacy. He is treating the Iran deal as both a geopolitical milestone and a political message to voters back home.
Transparency, strength, and American leverage are the watchwords of this effort.
The coming days will reveal whether Iran plays ball and whether Congress aligns behind Trump’s approach.
With a signing ceremony on the horizon and the president preparing to narrate the fine print himself, the world will soon see what this much talked about deal really means for American power and Middle Eastern stability.
What is certain is that Trump intends to make sure no one can claim he hid the details.
From the G7 stage to the Palace of Versailles dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron, Trump appears comfortable taking center stage once more and proving that, on foreign policy, he still calls the shots.
