Vance Says Iran Must Substantially Cut Enrichment Capacity to End War

US Vice President JD Vance said Iran must substantially reduce its uranium enrichment capabilities before an agreement can be reached to end the war between the two countries.

Vance said Washington wants concrete steps from Tehran, making a significant reduction in enrichment capacity a condition for a deal.

The war has continued for more than seven months. His remarks placed Iran’s nuclear capabilities at the centre of Washington’s stated requirements for ending the conflict.

The statement did not specify the scale of the reduction sought or detail the measures Tehran would need to take to satisfy the US demand.
