Vance calls for concrete Iranian nuclear concessions to end war

US Vice President Vance has called on Iran to make concrete concessions over its nuclear programme to bring an end to the war.

The concessions must include reducing Iran’s uranium enrichment capabilities, he said, placing a specific nuclear measure at the centre of his demand.

Vance stressed that the reduction must happen now, rather than take the form of a pledge to act in the future.

His position draws a distinction between an immediate change in Iran’s nuclear capabilities and a promise of later restraint, making tangible action the requirement he set out for ending the war.
