Vice President JD Vance said on Tuesday that the US has not released the text of the long-awaited peace deal with Iran because officials need to "sequence things correctly," UNN reports, citing CNN.
"There are some delicate diplomatic things going on, and the Iranians, and not just the Iranians, but some of our intermediaries—the Pakistanis and the Qataris—have asked us to sequence things correctly," Vance said on The Megyn Kelly Show, adding that he "doesn't fully understand" the reasons for the secrecy.
"There are sensitivities in the Arab and Muslim world that we are trying to be responsive to," Vance continued.

The media outlet notes that conservative foreign policy hawks are demanding to see the text. They are openly concerned that the initial peace deal will closely resemble the agreement signed under the Obama administration in 2015, which they criticized as being too weak.
As CNN notes, it remains unclear what concessions the US will make in this deal. On Tuesday, Vance reaffirmed that the text of the memorandum of understanding would be released "at the latest" by Friday.
