10:22Now PlayingU.S. negotiators are reportedly pushing to release the text of the agreement with Iran as soon as possible, even as administration officials insist the document itself is intentionally vague and less important than a series of undisclosed back-channel commitments they say Tehran has made. John Iadarola and Sharon Reed break it down on The Damage Report. Leave a comment with your thoughts below!

"US negotiators are working to quickly release the text of the agreement between Washington and Tehran, even as they downplay the significance of the specific language in the document, US officials told CNN.
The officials described the text of the agreement as incredibly vague, mainly intended to create a more favorable environment for the highly technical, in-person talks to come. They added that the framework is aimed at providing Iran the ability to sell it politically to their internal audience.
Additionally, the officials said that the text of the memorandum of understanding — which Vice President JD Vance told CNN Monday is one-and-a-half pages long — didn’t reflect critical back-channel commitments Iran has made to the US, which they argued gave them more confidence in signing on to the arrangement.
“People shouldn’t read too much into the language of the MOU,” one of the officials said, describing the agreement as a “political document.”"
