In interview, US Vice President Vance says Iran must cut nuclear enrichment to end war
The United States remains open to a deal, but Vance said Iran must make concrete nuclear concessions and cut enrichment capacity.
- On Monday, Vice President JD Vance told Reuters that Iran must make a "meaningful" reduction in its nuclear enrichment capacity to satisfy US demands and end the seven-month war.
- Complicating negotiations, Vance noted that Washington remains uncertain who holds decision-making authority in Tehran following the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, even while maintaining talks with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi.
- The war's $3 billion monthly price tag and higher energy costs have created political liabilities for President Donald Trump and Republicans ahead of next month's midterm elections.
- Trump rejected Tehran's latest proposal and warned of intensifying military operations after the midterms, while Vance campaigned in Fairbanks for Republican Senator Dan Sullivan against Democratic challenger Mary Peltola.
- Maintaining a firm stance, Vance stated the US will not "trade words for actions" regarding nuclear concessions, emphasizing that Iran must halt production of highly enriched fuel to demonstrate commitment to non-proliferation.
