Vance Says Iran Is Not Accepting 'Red Lines' Set by Trump as Second Round of Nuclear Talks End

Progress in US-Iran nuclear talks includes technical advances, but Iran rejects key US conditions amid rising military tensions and deployments in the Middle East, officials say.

  • On Tuesday, U.S. Vice President JD Vance said talks in Geneva showed progress but Tehran remains unwilling to accept some of President Donald Trump's red lines.
  • Amid military drills, a senior Iranian official told Al-Jazeera that Iran was 'practically ready' to carry out Khamenei's threats against the U.S. and was training for various response scenarios.
  • The U.S. deployed the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford with six destroyers, alongside about 50 fighter jets and three squadrons of F-15E fighter jets in Jordan, in recent weeks.
  • Vice President JD Vance warned the United States retains multiple options, including military power, while Iran said it would return within two weeks with detailed proposals and both sides will draft language before a third round.
  • In Israel, officials are pessimistic about talks and note Tehran refuses to address missiles and proxies, while Israel's Security Cabinet convenes Thursday amid heightened emergency readiness.
