US Vice President JD Vance said Washington and Tehran are close to reaching a nuclear agreement, although unresolved issues remain regarding Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile and uranium enrichment activities. Speaking to reporters, Vance said negotiations were still underway and described the talks as “not there yet”, while adding the United States could significantly set back Iran’s nuclear programme if necessary. According to Reuters sources, the US and Iran also agreed to extend their ceasefire and ease restrictions on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, pending approval from President Donald Trump. Vance said discussions continue over specific language in the proposed memorandum of understanding, with both sides still negotiating key provisions before any formal signing. (PC: X)
