U.S. Vice President JD Vance briefed the press at the White House on Monday afternoon regarding the ongoing negotiations with Iran, as reported by the Times of Israel. The briefing comes after days of intensive diplomatic talks and the signing of a 60-day framework agreement last week.
As The Zioneer reported in recent days, Vance had signaled that a deal could be imminent, and that the U.S. wanted a 'new leaf' with Tehran. The framework agreement signed last Thursday set a 60-day negotiation period. This is the first time Vance has briefed the press in person since the signing.
A video of the briefing has been released. No details of Vance's remarks were immediately disclosed beyond the fact that he addressed the press.
