Vice President JD Vance announced Wednesday that the U.S. has detected signs Iran is working to restore its nuclear capabilities following American-led strikes in June. The statement comes as U.S. and Iranian officials prepare for diplomatic talks in Geneva.
WASHINGTON – Vice President JD Vance announced Wednesday that American intelligence has detected indicators suggesting Iran is working to restore its nuclear capabilities following strikes conducted by U.S.-led forces on Iranian nuclear facilities in June.
President Donald Trump has repeatedly stated that the June military operations successfully eliminated Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and has vowed to prevent Tehran from rebuilding the program.
“The principle is very simple: Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon,” Vance stated during a press briefing on Wednesday, speaking one day before scheduled diplomatic discussions in Geneva involving American and Iranian representatives.
According to Vance, U.S. representatives Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are set to conduct meetings with an Iranian delegation in Geneva on Thursday to determine if a diplomatic solution can be achieved, while American military forces maintain a substantial presence throughout the region.
