JAKARTA - Vice President of the United States J.D. Vance said the release of frozen assets belonging to Iran would benefit the United States (US) and help strengthen the security architecture in the Middle East region.

"If Iran's assets are one day liquidated, then the funds will be used to enrich American farmers and feed the Iranian people. It is a very, very good deal, and very classic Trump. It is good for our people, good for the Iranian people, and basically, once again, will contribute to the regional security architecture that we have built," Vance told reporters in Switzerland, Monday, June 22, reported by ANTARA from Spuntik.

The United States and Iran held talks in Burgenstock, Switzerland, on Sunday (21/6), with Qatar and Pakistan as mediators in the negotiations.

The US delegation in the talks was led by Vance, while the Iranian delegation was headed by the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman (Kemlu) Ismail Baghaei and Vance later announced progress in the talks.

Last week, the US and Iran signed an online memorandum of understanding on the cessation of the military conflict that began on February 28. The document also sets a deadline for the US to lift its naval blockade and for Iran to restore shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran also promised not to get nuclear weapons, while the issue of Iran's nuclear program will be resolved through a separate agreement. The parties will hold negotiations on this within 60 days. For Iran, the result must be the lifting of sanctions against the country.
