Vice President JD Vance said Monday the preliminary U.S.-Iran agreement sets a 60-day timeline to resolve details on reopening the Strait of Hormuz and securing a verifiable nuclear commitment. The deal extends the ceasefire that began Feb. 28 and creates a framework for talks on Tehran's nuclear program. It has not been signed, and its text has not been released.
Vance told CNBC's Squawk Box that the two major prongs are reopening the strait toll-free for the long term and a commitment that Iran will never develop a nuclear weapon. "Our expectation is that the strait is going to be opened in a toll-free way for the long term," he said.
Iran has committed to destroy its stockpile of highly enriched material, Vance said. The process for doing so has not been established. "Let's talk about how exactly we're going to do that," Vance said. Iran wants access to an unsanctioned economy in exchange for a long-term inspection and verification regime, he added.
