The Vice President has said that Washington could “wind down” its operation and would prefer to do so through “a major successful negotiation”.
Vice President JD Vance has claimed the US has achieved its objectives in Iran and Washington can begin winding down its military campaign against the Islamic Republic.
In a Fox News interview on Monday, after US negotiators left talks without reaching a deal to end the conflict in Pakistan, Vance said Washington “Much progress” In conversation, add this “The ball is in Iran’s court” On whether to proceed further or not.
“I think we’re at a place where we’ve accomplished our objectives. We can start to wrap this thing up. I want to wrap this thing up with a big, successful conversation,” He said.
According to Vance, talks will take place in Islamabad over the weekend. “Some progress was made,” Specifically on US demands for the removal of nuclear material from Iran and measures to prevent future uranium enrichment. “They moved in our direction,” he claimed.
He suggested that the Iranian negotiators were “Unable to cut a deal” Returned to Tehran without signing and receiving approval for US terms from other officials.
“Whether we have further talks, whether we ultimately reach an agreement, I really think the ball is in the Iranian court,” Vance said.
He said that if the U.S. “red line” Have met on Iran’s nuclear program, “So this could be a very, very good deal for both countries.”
The comments came as the US began blocking ships at Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz, a move President Donald Trump said was aimed at forcing Tehran to negotiate and reopen the vital oil artery, the disruption of which is sending energy prices skyrocketing.
Meanwhile, Tehran has signaled skepticism by insisting that Washington must accept its terms or face impasse, Ebrahim Azizi, head of the Iranian parliament’s national security and foreign policy committee, told RT on Sunday. He said America needs an agreement “More than we do,” And many Iranians are unhappy that Tehran even entered the negotiations.
“When they need it, they must accept both the conditions and the prerequisites. If they don’t, we will do our job and go our way. Nothing will change,” he insisted.
Azizi said Tehran remains deeply suspicious of Washington’s intentions even after discussing ceasefire preconditions. “We just don’t trust them,” He asked whether there is such a country “elevates egoism and colonialism to a guiding principle” It can be relied upon to honor its commitments.
