Vance defends the deal reached between Iran and the United States and says that the US Congress will soon be informed of the details of the partially verbal agreement.
There were many questions surrounding the US agreement with Iran when Vance called a press conference on Thursday morning local time in Washington, D.C. Like President Donald Trump, Vance played down the criticism directed at the Trump administration for its handling and content of the agreement.
"We plan to notify Congress very soon," Vance said, adding that all members of Congress will be provided with a formal copy of the signed agreement with Iran, CNN reports.
The Vice President confirmed that the US Navy has lifted its blockade on oil and merchant ships heading to and from Iran's southern ports. He stressed that further negotiations with Iran are intended to result in a more detailed agreement on regulations governing the strait in the Persian Gulf. Such a vital sea route "should never be used as a stranglehold on the global economy ever again," said JD Vance.
