Vance Says 60-Day Iran Ceasefire Begins, Urges Israel to Hold Fire in Lebanon

U.S. Vice President JD Vance said a 60-day ceasefire with Iran has begun following the signing of a memorandum of understanding, with the aim of reaching a final nuclear agreement. He said the arrangement is meant to create a path toward a permanent deal over Iran's nuclear program.

Vance also claimed that Tehran's nuclear program has been destroyed. In the same remarks, he called on Israel not to “go wild” in Lebanon and to respect the agreement.

The comments were made in a political context tied to the new understandings, and Vance emphasized that the next step is to turn the temporary pause into a final nuclear settlement. The article does not say when or where the remarks were delivered, or whether any further talks are scheduled.
