The U.S. and Iran made progress in nuclear talks in Geneva on Tuesday, with Tehran’s negotiators scheduled to return with a new proposal in two weeks, a U.S. official said on Tuesday, a cautiously upbeat assessment that suggests the chances of an imminent military clash are low.
The official, who asked not to be named, said Iran would return with detailed proposals to address the remaining gaps between the two sides, but cautioned that there were still a lot of details to discuss.
“In some ways, it went well,” Vice President JD Vance said in a Fox News interview later Tuesday. “But in other ways, it was very clear that the president has set some red lines that the Iranians are not yet willing to actually acknowledge and work through. So we’re going to keep on working it.”
