WASHINGTON, Feb 18, (V7N) - In the wake of high-stakes talks in Geneva, US Vice President JD Vance revealed that Iran has not agreed to all the "red lines" set by President Donald Trump for a diplomatic resolution to the ongoing nuclear dispute.
While indicating that the United States remains open to diplomacy, Vance acknowledged the challenges ahead. "In some ways, it went well; they agreed to meet afterwards," Vance told Fox News, referring to the Geneva talks. However, he noted that the Iranian side had yet to fully acknowledge or address key concerns that the US had laid out, especially regarding Iran's nuclear program.
"The president has set some red lines that the Iranians are not yet willing to actually acknowledge and work through," Vance explained. "We’re going to keep on working it. But of course, the president reserves the ability to say when he thinks that diplomacy has reached its natural end."
Vance emphasized that the hope is to avoid a breakdown in talks, but ultimately, the decision on when diplomacy has failed and further action is necessary rests with President Trump.
The comments come after a series of diplomatic exchanges in Geneva, where both sides have made progress, but significant differences remain, particularly on Iran’s nuclear ambitions and regional influence.
