Vance says progress made in Iran talks

U.S. Vice President JD Vance said Tuesday that "a lot of progress" has been made during talks toward a peace deal with Iran as neither side wants to see renewed military actions.

However, the United States remains "locked and loaded" to resume attacks on Iran if talks fail, he said, reiterating that it is Washington's core demand that Tehran never obtain a nuclear weapon. Vance added that Tehran's negotiating position is unclear, and that the country's leadership is fractured.
