Vice President JD Vance Calls The New Ceasefire With Iran A “Fragile Truce”

Vice President JD Vance has given his thoughts on the recent ceasefire deal the United States has made with Iran.

As the WLT Report previously covered, the United States and Iran reached a two-week ceasefire agreement that will pause all attacks between the two nations.

Vance, while speaking to a crowd in Hungary, shared that the new ceasefire agreement is a “fragile truce” and called out political pundits for attempting to destroy it.

CNBC reported more on Vance’s comments on the ceasefire deal with Iran:

Vice President JD Vance has said the Iran ceasefire is a “fragile truce.”

The ceasefire, announced Tuesday, halted attacks on the country for two weeks and triggered a relief rally in global markets.

Speaking in Hungary, Vance said Wednesday that Iran’s foreign minister had responded well to the ceasefire but others in the country had been “lying” about the agreement.

“This is why I say this is a fragile truce,” he said. “You have people who clearly want to come to the negotiating table and work with us to find a good deal, and then you have people who are lying about even the fragile truce that we’ve already struck.”

Vance, who has been campaigning for Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s reelection, said the U.S. had “clear military, diplomatic and, maybe most importantly, we have extraordinary economic leverage” over Iran.

“The president has told us not to use those tools. He’s told us to come to the negotiating table. But if the Iranians don’t do the exact same thing, they’re going to find out that the president of the United States is not one to mess around. He’s impatient. He’s impatient to make progress,” Vance added.

Talks between the U.S. and Iran are set to take place in Islamabad on Friday.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt signaled Tuesday that the talks were still being planned.

“There are discussions about in person talks, but nothing is final until announced by the president or the White House,” she said.

Trump threatened earlier Tuesday morning that “a whole civilization will die tonight never to be brought back again” unless “something revolutionary wonderful” occurs to get a deal agreed upon by the U.S. and Iran.
