Vance calls the truce 'fragile' as he hints at disagreements within Iranian regimeSpeaking from Budapest, US Vice-President JD Vance has said some Iranian officials are "lying about even the fragile truce that we’ve already struck". He said some people in Iran are "very favourable" to the proposed truce, but others "are basically lying about what we have accomplished militarily" and "about the nature of the agreement". "This is why I say this is a fragile truce. You have people who clearly want to come to the negotiating table and work with us to find a good deal, and then you have people who are lying about even the fragile truce that we’ve already struck," he said. …"If the Iranians are willing, in good faith, to work with us, I think we can make an agreement; if they’re going to lie, if they’re going to cheat, if they’re going to try to prevent even the fragile truce that we’ve set up from taking place, then they’re not going to be happy."
