US Vice President JD Vance has spoken on the latest developments today, fuelling more optimism around the delicate Iran negotiations as oil prices slide backwards.<\/p>\n
Vance says negotiations with Iran have made serious progress despite President Donald Trump publicly threatening renewed military action while talks were underway. <\/p>\n
He has also declared that Tehran has agreed to admit inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), a move Washington has long sought.<\/p>\n
It comes as one of Trump\u2019s close political allies, US Senator Lindsey Graham, has predicted the peace talks with Iran will \u201cfail\u201d and the President may restart the conflict.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s try this. Let\u2019s try a diplomatic solution. I think it\u2019s going to fail. What happens next?\u201d Mr Graham said during an appearance on the CBS show Face the Nation today.<\/p>\n
\u201cI spent four-and-a-half hours with President Trump on Friday. Here\u2019s what I think will happen next. If this deal fails, President Trump is going to take the Strait of Hormuz over by force.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe United States will control the Strait of Hormuz. We\u2019ll charge a fee for all those who go through, to pay for the operation, and we\u2019re going to expand the Abraham Accords in calendar year 2026, we\u2019re going to get Saudi Arabia to join the Abraham Accords, which is the biggest change in 5000 years in the Middle East.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd if Iran contests the control of the Strait of Hormuz by the United States, we\u2019ll obliterate them. So all the people listening: if this diplomatic effort fails, President Trump is going to take over the Strait of Hormuz. We\u2019re going to run it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Abraham Accords, an initiative from Mr Trump\u2019s first term, saw a handful of nations normalise relations with Israel. Saudi Arabia has made it plain it won\u2019t consider signing up until there is palpable progress towards the creation of a Palestinian state \u2013 something to which the current government of Israel is intractably opposed.<\/p>\n
