US-Iran Deal: 60-Day Countdown for Permanent Pact Begins

Vice President JD Vance announced a 60-day countdown has started for a permanent agreement between the United States and Iran. The timeline sets a deadline for both nations to finalize terms on a long-term deal. Under the current framework, negotiators must reach a final accord within two months. If no agreement is signed, the temporary arrangement may lapse. Vance did not specify what penalties or consequences would follow a missed deadline. The announcement signals a major push in diplomatic efforts. Previous talks have stalled over issues including Iran's nuclear program and regional military activities. The new countdown aims to force a final decision. Observers note that a permanent deal would replace interim agreements that have governed relations. The outcome will shape U.S. policy in the Middle East for years to come.
