On April 8, local time, US Vice President Vance stated at an event in Hungary that the ceasefire reached between the US and Iran is a ‘fragile truce.’ He did not disclose further details, only mentioning that the agreement includes a ceasefire, advancing negotiations, and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Vance indicated that President Trump has instructed the US representatives responsible for negotiating with Iran to engage in discussions ‘in good faith,’ while also noting that Trump is ‘eager to see progress.’ He also stated that the US is prepared to use ‘extraordinary economic leverage,’ but Trump has directed that these measures ‘should not be used at this time.’ Vance remarked that if Iran negotiates ‘in good faith,’ there is a possibility for the US to reach an agreement, but ‘how negotiations ultimately proceed depends on the Iranians.’ (CCTV News)
