Vice President JD Vance revealed Wednesday that President Donald Trump is pushing hard for diplomatic breakthroughs to resolve the ongoing Iran conflict, describing the commander-in-chief as eager to see results.<\/p>

During remarks at an event in Budapest while visiting Hungary, Vance characterized the current situation between the two nations as a “fragile truce” and emphasized that any lasting agreement hinges on Iran’s commitment to honest negotiations.<\/p>

“The President of the United States has told me, and he’s told the entire negotiating team, secretary of state, the special envoy Steve Witkoff, he said, go and work in good faith to come to an agreement,” Vance explained to the audience.<\/p>

The vice president went on to detail Trump’s urgency regarding the diplomatic efforts, stating: “He’s impatient. He’s impatient to make progress. He has told us to negotiate in good faith, and I think if they negotiate in good faith, we will be able to find a deal. But that’s a big if, and ultimately, it’s up to the Iranians how they negotiate. I hope they make the right decision.”<\/p>

Vance noted that while certain elements within Iran’s government appear willing to engage constructively in peace talks, other factions remain resistant to the diplomatic process.<\/p>

The comments come as the United States and Iran have entered into a two-week cessation of hostilities, facilitated through Pakistani mediation efforts. This temporary pause aims to halt a six-week conflict that has resulted in thousands of casualties, expanded throughout the Middle East region, and created severe disruptions to global energy markets.<\/p>

President Trump revealed the ceasefire arrangement Tuesday evening, announcing the agreement just two hours before his ultimatum deadline requiring Iran to reopen the blocked Strait of Hormuz or risk devastating military consequences against what he termed their “whole civilisation.”<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
