Vance hints at Iran nuclear rebuild but defers on future US military strikes

U.S. Vice President JD Vance dodged a direct question on whether Washington would need to strike Iran again to stop it from obtaining a nuclear weapon, saying he would “let president Trump to make those announcements”. However, Vance confirmed the U.S. has “seen evidence” that Tehran is trying to rebuild its nuclear program after last year’s strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. His carefully worded remarks came a day after President Donald Trump used his State of the Union address to warn that Iran has missiles that can already threaten Europe and U.S. bases overseas and is working on systems that could one day reach the American mainland, adding fresh tension ahead of a third round of nuclear talks between U.S. and Iranian delegations in Geneva.
