JD Vance drops update on Iran amid peace talks
During a conversation with “Special Report” anchor Bret Baier, JD Vance revealed the aftermath of the negotiations between the US and Iran. They were regarded as stalled, as both parties didn’t reach a definitive deal. He said, “The ball is very much in their court. You ask what happens next, I think the Iranians are going to determine what happens next.”
He mentioned that they had “good conversations.” They had discussions around key topics that the US looks forward to achieving, particularly the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. “I wouldn’t just say that things went wrong. I also think things went right. We made a lot of progress,” he said. Vance said that Iran had made a movement towards the US. He regarded it as a positive sign, but added that progress was still not enough (via Fox News).
Vance further mentioned that they left Pakistan after Iran failed to reach a deal and learned how they were negotiating among themselves. “What we figured out is that they were unable, I think — the team that was there, was unable to cut a deal. They had to go back to Tehran, either from the supreme leader or somebody else, and actually get approval to the terms that we had set,” he elaborated. These remarks come amid Trump’s latest Truth Social post, where he revealed the US Navy will block the already blocked Strait.
