Khaberni - U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance confirmed progress in ongoing talks in Burgenstock, noting that the United States has laid a good foundation for reaching a final settlement and a permanent dispute resolution, expressing hope in continuing this path and building on the progress made.
Vance said that the talks continued despite some complaints and that there has been significant progress, noting that technical discussions will continue throughout the week, while Monday will mark the start of talks with inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency in Burgenstock.
He added that the Iranians agreed to invite the international inspectors to their country, describing this step as "very important" in the course of nuclear negotiations.
In regional matters, Vance explained that a mechanism has been reached to avoid escalation and cease fire, along with a mechanism to keep the Strait of Hormuz open and ensure freedom of navigation in it, plus a mechanism for mine clearance from the strait.
Regarding Lebanon, Vance confirmed the implementation of mechanisms to prevent and resolve clashes and de-escalate tensions, noting progress in the Lebanese dossier during the Burgenstock talks compared to the situation 24 hours earlier.
He emphasized that the United States is also striving to protect the security of Israel and uphold the sovereignty of Lebanon, considering that the Lebanese situation will remain a topic of discussion and ongoing monitoring during the next phase.
He also called on Iran to restrain Hezbollah, affirming that this dossier is part of efforts aimed at enhancing regional stability.
On the Iranian assets issue, Vance said there are misleading reports being circulated regarding this matter, affirming that the goal is to setup a mechanism that ensures the funds are used in ways that help the Iranian people and not to fund terrorism.
Vance noted that the talks have made significant progress, yet there is still more work required before reaching a final and comprehensive agreement.
