“We’ve already made a lot of progress in the last few hours. I expect to see more progress in the near future,” Vance said. He called the talks on ending the American-Israeli war against Iran historic. “Outside of the last few months, Iranian and American leadership have never met at such a high level before,” he said.
He claims that American negotiators are in Switzerland to “transform the Middle East, where Iran and the Persian Gulf have been at war with each other, through diplomacy and joint work.” “We see a future where everyone can work together to promote peace and prosperity for all,” he said.
According to him, this is also the intention of President Trump. According to Vance, the head of the White House wishes to “turn the tide and change relations with the Iranian people”.
“The president has asked us to turn the page and change our relationship with the Iranian people and to reach out to the Iranians and tell them that if their leaders are willing to relinquish their role as a factor in regional instability, if they are willing to permanently abandon any ambition to acquire nuclear weapons, then the United States is willing to fundamentally transform its relationship with that country,” Vance said.
The talks of the American delegation led by JD Vance and the Iranian negotiators led by Mohammad Bágher Ghálibaf began on Sunday morning. According to the Swiss Ministry, mediators from Pakistan and Qatar are also participating.
