The United States and Iran were meeting in Geneva on Thursday for talks aimed at a diplomatic resolution to their long-running nuclear dispute, as President Donald Trump pressures Tehran with the threat of military action.
The talks — a third round of indirect negotiations — had begun as of early Thursday morning, Iran's semi-official Fars news agency reported.
In his State of the Union address on Tuesday, Trump declared that Iran was working to develop missiles that could “soon” reach the U.S. — his clearest case yet for a possible attack after overseeing a sweeping military buildup in the region.
"The principle is very simple: Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon," Vice President J.D. Vance said at a news conference Wednesday.
"If they try to rebuild a nuclear weapon, that causes problems for us," he said, adding that Washington had "seen evidence that they have tried to do exactly that.”
