U.S. Vice President JD Vance, speaking from the same room as Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, says President Trump authorized a broad diplomatic solution and that 'great progress' was made in recent hours. The statement underscores an unprecedented public proximity between senior American and Iranian officials at the ongoing negotiations.
According to reports circulating Sunday afternoon, U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi were observed in the same room at ongoing talks. Vance stated that President Trump authorized him to seek a diplomatic solution across a broad range of issues and that 'great progress' was made in recent hours, adding that Trump instructed the administration to 'open a new page' in relations with the Iranian people.
As The Zioneer reported earlier today (15:58–15:56 Jerusalem), this unprecedented visual proximity was also published by Iranian media, with presidential envoy Jared Kushner and negotiator Steve Witkoff also present. Vance's remarks followed a Fox News appearance last week where he promoted the emerging U.S.-Iran agreement as beneficial to Israel. The current session appears to be a high-stakes push toward a diplomatic breakthrough, though no formal text or signing timeline has been announced.
