BlockBeats message, April 8. Local time April 8, U.S. Vice President Vance said while attending an event in Hungary that the ceasefire agreement reached between the United States and Iran is a “fragile ceasefire.” He did not disclose any further details, only saying that the terms of the agreement include a ceasefire, moving forward with negotiations, and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Vance said that U.S. President Trump has instructed the U.S. representatives responsible for talks with Iran to begin consultations “in good faith,” but at the same time said Trump is “eager to see progress.”
He also said that the United States is ready to use “unusual economic leverage,” but Trump has instructed the U.S. side to “not use these measures for now.” Vance said that if Iran “in good faith” negotiates, the U.S. side may be able to reach an agreement, but “how the final negotiations proceed depends on the Iranian people.” (CCTV News)
