Iran-US war latest: Vance says one ‘basic’ step could end Iran’s nuclear threat as Houthis strike more airports

JD Vance says one ‘basic’ step could end Iran’s nuclear threat as Houthis strike more airports - (Reuters)

US vice president JD Vance said that Iran ​must make a “meaningful” reduction in its nuclear enrichment capacity for the US to end its months-long war, as Washington was unsure how ‌Tehran makes decisions in negotiations.

Vance, who has taken a leading role for the US side in peace talks, asked: "If you don't want a nuclear weapon, then why ​do you need 60 per cent enriched fuel? And if you want to show commitment to not building a nuclear weapon, don't build highly enriched ⁠fuel. That's a very basic threshold issue.”
