U.S. President Donald Trump is eager to make progress towards ending the Iran war, according to Vice President JD Vance. He has instructed his negotiating team to engage with Iran in good faith and a deal is possible if Iran sincerely negotiates, but cautioned that while some parts of the Iranian system are not engaging in constructively, others are not. The agreement announced just two hours before a deadline set for Iran to open the blocked Strait of Hormuz or face destruction of its entire civilisation.
