\u201cWe laid a very good foundation for a successful final deal,\u201d Vance said at a press briefing before departing for the U.S. \u201cThe final deal is the house. We set the foundation. We haven\u2019t built the house, but we\u2019ve laid a successful foundation to get to a good place for the American people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Technical negotiations were continuing in the mountaintop resort of B\u00fcrgenstock after a first round of marathon talks between senior figures from both countries. They had got off to a rough start, first canceled and then shaken by President Donald Trump\u2019s renewed threats.<\/p>\n

Vance confirmed that Iran had threatened to walk out over those comments, but he defended Trump. \u201cWhat we told the Iranians yesterday is when you guys engage in what us millennials might call \u2018trash talk,\u2019 you can\u2019t expect the president of the United States not to respond and not to correct the record,\u201d Vance said. <\/p>\n

The talks ultimately resulted in a joint statement released by mediators Qatar and Pakistan that struck a similarly positive tone, describing a \u201cconstructive atmosphere.\u201d Washington and Tehran agreed to to set up new communication lines to ensure the vital Strait of Hormuz is open and end fighting in Lebanon, mediators said.<\/p>\n

Vance said that Iran had agreed to allow inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) back into the country. <\/p>\n

He also said that Trump\u2019s son-in-law Jared Kushner came up with \u201ca very interesting solution\u201d to unfreezing Iran\u2019s assets that would involve the U.S. and Qatari approval and then the use of the money for purchases of U.S. soy, corn and wheat. He said this was a \u201cclassic Trump deal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s semiofficial Mehr News Agency reported Monday that the negotiating team, headed by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, has departed from Switzerland \u201cafter approximately 18 hours of intensive talks and consultations.\u201d But the agency said Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi was heading the Iranian team in technical talks. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"High-level talks between Iran and the United States resulted in \u201ca lot of good progress,\u201d Vice President JD…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":719144,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[23,3,21,19,22,20,25,24],"class_list":["post-719143","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-states","tag-america","tag-news","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/719143","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=719143"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/719143\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/719144"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=719143"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=719143"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=719143"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
