US Vice President JD Vance warned that the two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran is a 'fragile truce' that could be jeopardized by Tehran's actions. Speaking in Budapest, Vance stated that any attempt by Iran to undermine the ceasefire would result in serious economic consequences, highlighting the US's 'extraordinary economic leverage.' This warning comes shortly after President Donald Trump announced the ceasefire deal, which was brokered by Pakistan and calls for a pause in hostilities in exchange for Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for global oil and gas trade. However, the ceasefire is already showing signs of strain, with reports of Iranian missile activity and drone responses from Kuwait. Additionally, a Farsi version of Iran's proposal has raised concerns about continued uranium enrichment, which Trump labeled as 'fraudulent.' The US remains firm on its stance, viewing many of Iran's demands as non-negotiable, while Israel supports the ceasefire but continues military operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
