U.S. Vice President JD Vance said the United States and Iran have made significant progress in ongoing nuclear negotiations, raising hopes that both sides can avoid a renewed military conflict in the Middle East. Speaking during a White House briefing on Tuesday, Vance stated that Washington believes Tehran is interested in reaching an agreement that could ease tensions and prevent further escalation.
According to Vance, he recently spoke with President Donald Trump, who emphasized that the United States remains focused on one key objective: preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. The vice president warned that if Iran successfully develops nuclear capabilities, it could trigger a dangerous arms race across the Gulf region and beyond, with more nations seeking to acquire nuclear weapons.
Vance stressed that the U.S. government wants to limit the spread of nuclear arms globally and is working toward a diplomatic solution that ensures Iran cannot rebuild its nuclear weapons program in the future. He described the current negotiations as part of a broader effort to establish long-term safeguards and stability in the region.
The talks come as President Trump faces increasing pressure to secure a deal that would help stabilize global energy markets and ensure the Strait of Hormuz remains open. The strategic waterway is one of the world’s most important shipping routes for oil and other commodities. Trump has previously warned that the United States could resume military strikes on Iran if negotiations fail, while also expressing optimism that an agreement may be within reach.
When asked whether Russia could potentially take control of Iran’s enriched uranium reserves as part of a future deal, Vance clarified that such an arrangement is not currently being considered by the United States. He also noted that Iran has not proposed the idea during negotiations.
The latest comments suggest cautious optimism as diplomatic efforts between the U.S. and Iran continue.
