US VP Vance Demands Immediate Iranian Enrichment Cuts to End War
US Vice President JD Vance has publicly conditioned the end of the seven-month conflict on Iran making immediate and 'meaningful' reductions in its nuclear enrichment capacity. This represents a firm US stance, with high confidence in the demand for concessions, though one source suggests a potential softening. The feasibility of this demand and Iran's response remain uncertain, indicating a potential impasse in negotiations.
