Wansi: Starting from the 18th of the 60 day negotiation period, he will lead the US team
According to Golden Finance, on June 19th, US Vice President Vance said at a White House press conference on June 18th that the 60 day deadline for reaching a final agreement stipulated in the memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran will start counting from the 18th, and he will lead the US negotiation team in the upcoming negotiations. Vance said, "I think the 60 day deadline has officially started today. Due to the late signing time and considering the time difference, technically speaking, I think it was signed today according to Iran time." Vance said he still plans to go to Switzerland, but the specific time is yet to be determined. The technical negotiations between the United States and Iran are expected to begin this weekend. He pointed out that Iran and the United States have been fulfilling their military commitments as stated in the memorandum of understanding. Iran has not fired at any ships in the Strait of Hormuz for two consecutive nights, and the US military has allowed numerous ships to pass through its maritime blockade. Vance said that the final agreement reached with Iran will address the long-term operational issues of the Strait of Hormuz and must ensure that this critical waterway "will never become a bottleneck for the global economy again. He emphasized that the US believes that international waterways should not be subject to tolls. When asked who will provide the $300 billion mentioned in the memorandum of understanding for Iran's reconstruction and economic development, Vance said that the current negotiations are still in the early stages and cannot give a definite answer. He also emphasized that the economic benefits in the agreement can only be obtained if Iran "fully fulfills" and "changes its behavior". Vance also stated that Israel's military actions in Lebanon have sometimes hindered breakthroughs in US Iran negotiations, which has left US President Trump feeling frustrated. He reiterated Israel's right to self-defense, but at the same time urged the Israeli side to "respect this peace process that is beneficial to them and the entire region". Xinhua News Agency
