U.S. Vice President JD Vance says Washington will continue Iran negotiations despite Israeli opposition

U.S. Vice President JD Vance defended the Trump administration's effort to reach a nuclear agreement with Iran, stating that Washington will keep negotiating even if Israel disagrees. He told Fox News, "Israel may agree or not, but fundamentally we believe this is best for the United States," emphasizing that the strategy aims to reduce conflict risks and serve long‑term U.S. interests.

Iran’s permanent UN envoy, Amir Saeid Iravani, said Tehran and Washington are exchanging views through Pakistan‑mediated talks to finalize a deal that could end hostilities. President Donald Trump urged both Iran and Israel to cease fire immediately after recent missile exchanges and attempted to persuade Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu not to retaliate, seeking to preserve the diplomatic channel.
