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

The ceasefire has halted attacks on Iran for two weeks and triggered a economy rally.

But Vance stated some Iranians “who are lying about even the fragile truce that we’ve already struck.”

Vice President JD Vance has noted the Iran ceasefire is a “fragile truce.” This also touches on aspects of earnings report.

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

Speaking in Hungary, Vance mentioned 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 commented. “You have the public who clearly want to come to the negotiating table and work with us to find a favorable deal, and then you have humans 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, mentioned 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 adopt 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 build progress,” Vance added.

U.S President Donald Trump threatened earlier this week that a “whole civilization will die” without a deal for a ceasefire. He warned Iran had to either cut a deal or face massive strikes on its civilian infrastructure.

Vance added: “What the president set out to do was decimate the Iranian military, decimate their ability to wage conventional war. And that military objective … has been achieved.”

He continued: “Because of that, what the president did is he basically issued an ultimatum to the Iranians. He mentioned, ‘open up the streets, stop trying to hold the world’s economy hostage, and we’ll engage in a ceasefire.’ And that’s exactly the agreement that we came to last night.”
