'You can't expect the president to not correct that record after what we call 'trash talk' was had'

Vice President JD Vance delivered an update Monday from Switzerland following negotiations with Iran aimed at fully reopening the Strait of Hormuz and reducing fighting between Israel and the Iranian-backed militia group Hezbollah in Lebanon. The talks, mediated by Qatar and Pakistan, began Sunday and stretched into the early hours of Monday. While the high-level discussions have concluded, technical negotiations are expected to continue in Switzerland this week. Vance said the talks did not produce a final peace agreement but did establish diplomatic, security and nuclear-monitoring frameworks needed to pursue a broader and more permanent regional settlement. "We laid a very good foundation for a successful final deal," Vance told reporters. "The final deal is the house. We set the foundation." ance said the negotiations achieved four key objectives: Keep the Strait of Hormuz open: Establish a coordination system to keep commercial shipping moving, manage future incidents without escalation, and ensure the continued flow of oil and natural gas through the waterway. Create a regional deconfliction mechanism: Set up communication channels to manage ceasefire violations, prevent conflicts involving Israel, Hezbollah and others from escalating into a wider war, and improve coordination among regional actors during crises. Restore IAEA nuclear inspections in Iran: Secure Iran's agreement to allow International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors back into the country and begin the process of permanently ending Iran's nuclear weapons program. Launch technical negotiations for a final agreement: Establish a formal process for ongoing technical talks among U.S., Iranian, Qatari and Pakistani teams and build the framework for a broader, long-term nuclear and regional security agreement. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow Iowa's News Now on our social media pages: Iowa’s News Now on Facebook:   / iowasnewsnow   Iowa’s News Now on Twitter:   / iowasnewsnow   For more news & weather: https://cbs2iowa.com/ Send us news tips @ [email protected] #iowanewsnow #iowanews #localnews #KGAN #news
