U.S. Vice President Vance: The U.S.-Iran Ceasefire Is a “Fragile Truce” — Trump “Eager to See Progress”

On April 8, local time, U.S. Vice President Vance said during an event in Hungary that the ceasefire reached between the United States and Iran is a “fragile truce.” He did not disclose any further details, only saying that the agreement includes a ceasefire, moving negotiations forward, and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Vance said that U.S. President Trump has asked the U.S. representatives responsible for negotiations with Iran to “negotiate in good faith,” but at the same time said that Trump is “eager to see progress.” He also said that the United States is prepared to use “unusual economic leverage,” but that Trump has instructed the U.S. side to “hold off on using these measures for now.” Vance said that if Iran “negotiates in good faith,” the U.S. may be able to reach an agreement, but “ultimately how negotiations are carried out depends on the Iranian people.” (CCTV News)
