Vice President Vance: Iran Can Have "Civil Nuclear Power" but No Weapon
(Jewish Insider) Gabby Deutch - Vice President JD Vance said at a conference in Washington on Wednesday that Iran can have a "civil nuclear program" but not a "nuclear weapons program," offering yet another confusing signal about the Trump administration's position on Iran's nuclear capabilities as negotiations with the Islamic Republic are set to enter their fourth round. Vance's comments come days after President Donald Trump said the outcome of the negotiations must be "total dismantlement" of Iran's nuclear program. Vance's remarks, at the Munich Security Conference's D.C. confab, suggested that the White House believes Iran does not need to entirely give up its nuclear program. He praised the status of the negotiations, saying the Iranians have been responsive to American demands. "So far, so good," Vance said. "We've been very happy by how the Iranians have responded to some of the points that we've made."
