  • The United States and Iran have begun a 60-day negotiation period, according to U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance.
  • This follows a framework agreement signed by President Donald Trump with Iran at the Palace of Versailles.
  • The negotiations will address issues including Iran's nuclear program and passage through the Strait of Hormuz.

A 60-day negotiation period between the United States and Iran commenced on Thursday, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance announced at a press conference. The announcement came after President Donald Trump signed a framework agreement with Iran late Wednesday at the Palace of Versailles, near Paris.

"I would say that the 60-day period officially began today," Vance stated on Thursday. These 60 days are intended for discussions on various matters, notably Iran's nuclear program. While the framework agreement addresses an immediate cessation of hostilities and ensures free passage through the Strait of Hormuz, several unresolved questions remain.

President Trump indicated on Wednesday that the 60-day period could be extended if a final agreement requires more time, emphasizing that it is not a "hard" deadline. The ongoing talks aim to resolve outstanding issues and solidify the terms of the agreement between the two nations.
