\u201cYesterday was a very, very good day. We made great progress. We did exactly what we wanted<\/b>,\u201d said the vice president of the U.S. Jay D. Vance<\/b> regarding the negotiations <\/b>of Switzerland<\/b> with Iranian <\/b>officials.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe final agreement is the house<\/b>. We laid the foundation<\/strong>. We haven\u2019t built it yet, but we\u2019ve successfully laid the foundation,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is not an agreement that the U.S. is imposing on the region. This is a agreement that the region has desperately asked the U.S. to implement<\/b>,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cWe wanted to create a mechanism to keep the Strait of Hormuz open. It is open<\/b>,\u201d insisted Vance<\/b>.<\/p>\n \u201c\u201cWe wanted to ensure that we would create a mechanism that would guarantee that when conflicts inevitably arise, we would be able to resolve them<\/b>.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAs Trump said, sometimes these ceasefires just mean there are a few fewer shots fired.\u00a0We, however, wanted to ensure that we have established the proper coordination so that if there are exchanges of fire<\/b> \u2014whether Hezbollah strikes Israel or Israel responds\u2014 we are in genuine communication with one another and can find a way to halt the firing<\/b>.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe Iranians have agreed to invite inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) back into their country<\/b>\u201d. Talks regarding the inspections are likely to begin as early as this week.<\/p>\n \u201cI can\u2019t stay here (in Switzerland) for the next 60 days. I want to return to the U.S. The technical teams will continue working<\/b>.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThe Iranians threatened to walk away, or at least there were threats on social media that they would walk away. They didn\u2019t walk away.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWe told the Iranians yesterday: <\/strong>\u2018When you engage in what we millennials would call\u2026 trash talk (threats\/provocative statements), you can\u2019t expect Trump not to respond.\u201d When they say things that aren\u2019t true, Trump is going to respond to them.\u201d<\/b>.<\/p>\n On the major issue of Lebanon <\/b>, the vice president stated that it is an ongoing discussion, a \u201cwork in progress\u201d<\/b>.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cSometimes a low-ranking member (of Hezbollah) launches a drone without the approval of the top leadership.\u00a0Of course, Israel must respond to this, but we could have a more peaceful situation if Israel responded within the framework of the ongoing discussion between Hezbollah, Lebanon, Israel, and other partners in the region,\u201d he emphasized.\u00a0Israel and every other nation in the region has the right to self-defense<\/b>, Jay D. Vance<\/b> clarified, however.\u00a0<\/p>\n As he argued, \u201cthe Israelis have made it very clear that they have no territorial ambitions in southern Lebanon<\/b>.\u00a0The reason they feel they need to be there is because they are concerned about Hezbollah fighters. \u201cWe believe we can reach a point where both Lebanon\u2019s territorial integrity and Israel\u2019s security will be protected<\/b>.\u201d<\/p>\n According to the U.S. vice president, \u201cwhat Jared (Kushner) achieved, the Qataris, and the entire team is, in my view, a classic Trump deal.<\/strong> If Iranian assets are ever unfrozen, they will make American farmers richer and help feed the Iranian people<\/b>.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cYesterday was a very, very good day.
