US Vice President JD Vance<\/a> said on Tuesday that the United States and Iran have made a lot of progress in their talks, and neither side wants to see a resumption of the military campaign.<\/p>\n

“We think that we’ve made a lot of progress. We think the Iranians want to make a deal,” Vance told reporters at a White House briefing.<\/p>\n

Vance said he had just spoken to Trump, who stressed that the core issue for the US is that Iran can never have a nuclear<\/a> weapon. If that happens, Vance said, countries around the Gulf would want their own weapons, and other countries across the world would as well.<\/p>\n

“We want to keep the number of countries that have nuclear weapons small, and that’s why Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon,” he said.<\/p>\n

The United States wants Iran<\/a> to work with Washington on a process to ensure that the Iranians would not rebuild their nuclear weapons capacity in the years to come.<\/p>\n

“That’s what we’re trying to accomplish in negotiations,” he said.<\/p>\n

Trump is under pressure to reach an accord that would reopen the Strait of \u200bHormuz<\/a> – a key route for global supplies of oil and other commodities. Trump has previously expressed hope that a deal was close on ending the conflict, and similarly threatened to renew military strikes \u200con Iran \u2060if it did not reach an accord.<\/p>\n

When asked if Russia could take possession of Iran’s enriched uranium, Vance said: “That is not currently the plan of the United States government. The Iranians have not raised it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"US Vice President JD Vance said on Tuesday that the United States and Iran have made a lot…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":450032,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,87,88393,11487,43,8679,40,38,41,39,1032,730,7421],"class_list":["post-450031","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-iran","tag-iran-nuclear-talks","tag-jd-vance","tag-news","tag-nuclear-weapon","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories","tag-united-states","tag-washington","tag-white-house"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450031","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=450031"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450031\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/450032"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=450031"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=450031"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=450031"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
