Earlier, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said on his X account that three clauses of Iran’s 10-point proposal have been “openly and clearly violated” – including a proposed ceasefire in Lebanon.
Vance says he’s seen the post and takes it as a positive. If there are only three points of contention, that signals broad agreement, the vice-president says.
But he does write off some of Ghalibaf’s points.
“I actually wonder how good he is at understanding English,” he says. “Because there are things that he said that frankly didn’t make sense in the context of the negotiations that we’ve had.”
He went on to call the Lebanon question a “reasonable misunderstanding”.
“Ceasefires are always messy,” he says, adding that they never go off without some “choppiness”.
