Vance says some Iranian officials are 'lying,' risking 'fragile' truce
Vice President JD Vance said the nascent ceasefire with Iran is "fragile" during his visit to Hungary on Wednesday.
"The Iranians have agreed to open up the Strait [of Hormuz]. The United States has agreed to stop attacking, and that not just the United States, but also our allies, have agreed to stop attacking. And that is the basis of this fragile truce that we have."
"You have some people on social media within their system who are basically lying about what we've accomplished militarily. They're lying about the nature of the agreement. They're lying about the nature of the ceasefire," Vance said of some Iranian officials.

"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," Vance added.
"If the Iranians are willing, in good faith, to work with us, I think we can make an agreement," Vance said. "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."
