The Brief

  • Vice President Vance reports progress in US-Iran talks.
  • No deadline has been set for resuming strikes against Iran.
  • Both sides express willingness to reach a negotiated settlement.

US Vice President JD Vance stated Monday that progress has been made in ongoing negotiations with Iran, though no deadline has been set for resuming strikes.

Vance said he spoke with President Donald Trump shortly before the remarks, and both expressed confidence in the possibility of reaching a negotiated settlement.

Vance noted that Iran remains unpredictable, but added that the US has made some progress and is continuing to work toward a resolution.

Vance emphasized that the US wants to ensure Iran does not rebuild its nuclear program, which was previously destroyed.

Trump also mentioned that Iran has expressed interest in making a deal to end the conflict, which has lasted nine months.

Tensions in the Middle East remain high following attacks by the US and Israel on Iran in February, which led to Iranian retaliation.
