Vance says 'a lot of progress' made in Iran talks

Vance said the administration sees a deal or renewed military action as the only paths, while gas prices have climbed 50%, AAA said.

  • On Tuesday, Vice President Vance announced at the White House that the United States and Iran have "made a lot of progress" in talks, with neither side wanting to resume military action.
  • Trump postponed a "very major attack" on Iran, stating, "If we can do that without bombing the hell out of them, I'd be very happy," while seeking a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
  • Outlining the administration's stance, Vance said the United States has "two paths forward": a negotiated agreement permanently blocking Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, or renewed military action.
  • "So as the president just told me, we're locked and loaded," Vance said, emphasizing that the United States insists Iran cannot rebuild its nuclear weapons capacity.
  • Over the weekend, Trump warned that "the Clock is Ticking," urging Iran to move "FAST, or there won't be anything left of them," while maintaining military action remains an option if negotiations fail.
