US VP Vance Says Iran Won’t Be Allowed to Have Nuclear Weapon
In an interview on Fox News, Vance said Trump has been “as crystal clear as he could be. Iran can't have a nuclear weapon.”
“That would be the ultimate military objective, if that's the route that he chose. That is, of course, what we're trying to accomplish, as the president said, through the preferred route of diplomacy. But it's very simple. We have to get to a position where Iran, the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world, cannot threaten the world with nuclear terrorism,” Vance added.
He emphasized that most Americans agree Iran should not be permitted to develop nuclear capabilities, framing the issue as both a national and global security concern.
While negotiations continue, Vance noted that Trump has demonstrated readiness to use alternative measures if required. “Trump is going to try to accomplish it diplomatically,” he said, adding that the president “has a number of other tools at his disposal to ensure this doesn't happen.”
Delegations from Iran and the US are scheduled to hold a third round of indirect nuclear talks in Geneva, Switzerland on Thursday, under Omani mediation. Vance expressed hope that Iran approaches the negotiations “seriously.”
When asked whether preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons could involve removing its supreme leader, Vance declined to speculate, noting that Trump would determine the necessary course of action.
