Vance Says Iran Must Substantially Reduce Enrichment 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 stressed that 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, with the US demand placing Iran’s nuclear capabilities at the center of the terms for ending it.

His remarks framed Washington’s position around tangible action rather than assurances alone. The statement did not specify the scale of the reduction sought or a timetable for Iran to act.
