US Vice President JD Vance told Fox News on Saturday that Iran is 'hurt' and wants the conflict to end, but the key question is whether Tehran can meet Washington's demands. Vance noted that 'progress has been made recently' but the outcome still needs to be determined.
US Vice President JD Vance elaborated on the state of US-Iran negotiations in a Fox News interview Saturday evening, describing the Iranian regime as 'hurt' and eager to end the conflict. 'They are hurt and want this to end,' Vance said. 'The question is whether they can give us what we need. This still needs to be determined, but progress has been made recently.'
The remarks come hours after Vance confirmed that the United States is conducting talks with Iran and is ready to make changes for the sake of relations, as The Zioneer reported earlier Saturday. The administration has been pursuing a negotiated agreement, with Vance and other officials recently signaling that a deal could be close. The timeline remains uncertain, with Vance previously suggesting it could be signed within weeks or take months.
The interview underscores the administration's ongoing diplomatic push even as domestic critics demand transparency over the agreement's terms. Vance did not specify what concessions Washington is seeking from Tehran.
