G7 leaders -- and the rest of the world -- wait for clarity on US-Iran agreement

Heading into an al fresco dinner Monday evening overlooking the azure Lake Geneva shoreline, the leaders of the world's most powerful nations were hoping to gain clarity on what, exactly, President Donald Trump's new arrangement with Iran entailed.

After almost two hours, the sun had nearly set. Despite a "frank" and in-depth conversation on the agreement, at least some of the leaders walked away from the custom-built dinner pavilion just as mystified about the details of the plan as they were walking in, according to two officials familiar with the matter.

Days after Trump applied his electronic signature to the agreement, the exact terms of the pact remain known to only a few. Neither side has published the one-and-a-half page text that was formalized in the virtual signing Sunday, leading to sometimes contradictory statements from Washington and Tehran. Even officials inside Trump's government offered slightly different takes on how the plan would work.

Whether any of those matters are clarified by the time Vice President JD Vance is expected to attend a formal signing ceremony in Switzerland on Friday remains to be seen. In the telling of one senior US official, the text of the memorandum will be released well before that date, laying out a timeline of a day or two before the document is finally revealed publicly in the name of "transparency."

Clarity from Trump.
