US Vice President Terms Ceasefire a 'Fragile Understanding'

He pointed out that certain factions within Iran are misrepresenting the nature of the agreement and their military achievements, which adds a layer of instability to the current diplomatic efforts.

Vance emphasized that the U.S. negotiating team, including the Secretary of State and special envoys, is operating in good faith to secure a lasting peace. He issued a stern warning that while the U.S. remains open to a formal agreement, it requires genuine cooperation from Iran. Should Iran resort to deception or hinder the effectiveness of this fragile truce, Vance cautioned that they would face severe consequences.
