JD Vance claims breakthrough progress in US Iran negotiations
US Vice President JD Vance has said that negotiations with Iran are moving forward as the United States continues diplomatic efforts aimed at reducing tensions and preventing nuclear escalation.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, Vance said some progress has been made, but the key question is whether it is enough to meet President Donald Trump’s conditions. He explained that the president’s “red line” is clear: Iran must never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon, and strong safeguards must be in place to ensure that outcome.
Vance also responded to criticism over Trump’s recent remarks on Iran talks, where the president was quoted as saying he does not focus on Americans’ financial situation during negotiations. The vice president dismissed that interpretation, calling it a misrepresentation and saying Trump’s main priority remains national security and preventing nuclear proliferation.
He added that he fully agrees with Trump’s position that Iran should not be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons under any circumstances. According to Vance, the United States is actively engaged in an intense diplomatic process with the clear goal of protecting American interests and global security.

He said the ongoing discussions are part of a broader strategy to ensure Iran does not become a nuclear threat in the future. The comments come at a time when tensions remain high in the region, while diplomatic channels between Washington and Tehran continue despite uncertainty over a final agreement.
Analysts believe the talks reflect a delicate balance between pressure and diplomacy, and the outcome could play a key role in shaping future stability in the Middle East.
