US Vice President JD Vance stated that if Iran adheres to the agreement reached with President Trump, it will bring about a "radical transformation" in the Middle East.

In an interview with Fox News, Vance added that "the peoples of the region have become accustomed to conflict, but we have turned a new page despite the challenges of establishing peace," according to his remarks.

He emphasized that "perfection in peace will not be achieved overnight, but we have taken a significant and historic step," noting that "parties in the Middle East such as Hezbollah do not want this agreement to succeed."

The Vice President continued, "We have transformed the Middle East into an engine of prosperity that eliminates the risks of chaos and wars we have experienced throughout the past generation."

He described President Trump's vision as having "changed the equation in the Middle East, from decades of wars and chaos to a space of regional cooperation," affirming that "Iran's commitment to the agreement could radically alter the region over the next 50 years."

Vance characterized the agreement as "a major moment for the United States thanks to the leadership of the President and the efforts of his team," pointing out that "adherence to the agreement could open a new phase of cooperation in the Middle East," and expressing hope for a new era with the Iranians.

The US Vice President also mentioned that Tehran, through communication channels with the US, confirmed it will not respond to Israel and will comply with signing the agreement. He stated, "We were very concerned about a broad Iranian response to Israel following the Beirut raid."
