Video: No breakthrough after 21 hours of Iran nuclear talks, says Vance

JD Vance said negotiations with Iran ended without progress after more than 21 hours of talks, stating the US “could not get to a situation” where Tehran accepted its terms.

Speaking after the discussions, Vance said the core demand remains a firm commitment that Iran will not pursue nuclear weapons or the capability to rapidly build one.

He added that while the US side was “quite flexible” and entered talks in good faith under Donald Trump, “we haven’t seen that yet,” and “weren’t able to make any headway.”
