U.S. Vice President JD Vance on Monday said his lengthy talks with senior Iranian officials in Switzerland created a “good foundation for a successful final deal” as they negotiate bringing a permanent end to the war that the U.S. and Israel began in late February.
“The final deal is the house,” Vance told reporters after initial talks with Iran’s parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf. “We set the foundation. We haven’t built the house, but we’ve laid a successful foundation to get to a good place for the American people.”
Iran noted “major progress” to end the fighting in Lebanon and called that the first real test of the negotiations.
