JD Vance Says 60-Day Ceasefire With Iran Has Begun, Urges Restraint in Lebanon

U.S. Vice President JD Vance said the 60-day ceasefire with Iran has begun after the signing of a memorandum of understanding, with the goal of reaching a final nuclear agreement. He said the arrangement is meant to open the way to a long-term deal over Iran’s nuclear program.

Vance also claimed that Tehran’s nuclear program had been destroyed. In his remarks, he called on Israel not to “run wild in Lebanon” and to respect the agreement.

The comments come as the deal is framed as part of a broader diplomatic effort to stabilize the situation and prevent escalation in the region. Vance also said expectations include Hezbollah refraining from launching rockets.
