Vice President JD Vance described the current Iran ceasefire as a “fragile truce,” warning that internal divisions within Tehran could undermine progress, according to his remarks in Hungary. He said some Iranian officials appear open to negotiations, while others are misrepresenting the agreement.

The report by CNBC said the two-week ceasefire, announced earlier this week, has paused hostilities and eased global market tensions. Vance credited President Donald Trump’s strategy, arguing that U.S. military and economic pressure forced Iran to the negotiating table.

According to Vance, the administration has chosen diplomacy for now, despite holding significant leverage. He warned that if Iran fails to reciprocate, the U.S. could escalate its response.

Vance also said Trump’s objective to weaken Iran’s military capabilities has been achieved. The ceasefire, he added, followed an ultimatum to reopen key trade routes and halt disruptive actions.

Officials stress that negotiations remain ongoing, with uncertainty surrounding the durability of the agreement.
