Vance Says Iran Must Cut Nuclear Enrichment to End War | ChatZyr
By Editorial Desk | Team ChatZyr
US Vice President JD Vance has said Iran must make a meaningful reduction in its nuclear enrichment capacity if it wants to reach an agreement with Washington and end the seven-month war.
Vance said the United States is seeking concrete action from Tehran rather than assurances that Iran will reduce its nuclear programme in the future.
He questioned Iran's continued enrichment of uranium to 60 percent, arguing that such a level is inconsistent with a commitment not to develop a nuclear weapon.
“If you want to show a commitment to not building a nuclear weapon, don't build highly enriched fuel,” Vance said.
Vance said Washington remains open to an agreement but expects Iran to take tangible steps on its nuclear programme.
The United States and Iran have exchanged proposals aimed at ending the conflict and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for global energy shipments.
Vance also said Washington remains uncertain about how decisions are being made inside Tehran. He said US officials are communicating with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, while questioning how much authority they hold within Iran's political structure.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei has disputed that assessment, saying US officials understand Iran's decision-making system and criticizing what he described as contradictory messages from Washington.
The dispute over uranium enrichment remains a central issue in efforts to end the war, while the Strait of Hormuz remains an important factor in negotiations.
