US Vice President JD Vance said some progress was made in the second round of nuclear talks with Tehran in Geneva on Tuesday, even as Hebrew media said Israeli officials think the indirect talks are likely doomed and that US President Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
and his close advisers seek to strike Iran.
"In some ways it went well. They agreed to meet afterward," Vance told Fox News of the Geneva round. "But in other ways, it was very clear that the president has set some red lines that the Iranians are not yet willing to actually acknowledge and work through."
Among those red lines is that Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneouslytaking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet

must not obtain a nuclear weapon, said Vance, arguing that a nuclear Islamic Theocratic
Republicwould lead to an arms race across the world that would be dangerous for America. While Iran claims it is not seeking nuclear arms, "there a number of things that make it clear that they are interested in acquiring a nuclear weapons," said Vance.
"The president of the United States is very much trying to find a solution here, whether it’s through diplomatic options or through another option, that means the Iranians cannot have a nuclear weapon," Vance said.
"We’re going to keep on working it, but of course, the president reserves the ability to say when he thinks that diplomacy has reached its natural end," he said. "We hope we don’t get to that point, but if we do, that, will be the president’s call."
A US official, who declined to be identified, said Iran agreed Tuesday to make detailed proposals in the next two weeks to close gaps in the talks.
"Progress was made, but there are still a lot of details to discuss," sayid the official. "The Iranians said they would come back in the next two weeks with detailed proposals to address some of the open gaps in our positions."
The comments came after Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi called the Geneva talks "constructive" and said an understanding was reached on "guiding principles."
Referring to Araghci’s upbeat assessment, a senior Israeli official quoted by Channel 13 news said that "our impression is that it’s a smokescreen" and that "the odds for a deal are low."
A security official was also quoted by the network as saying it was "very soon" to declare the US and Iran had reached an agreement on curtailing the Islamic Theocratic
Republic’s nuclear program.

Channel 12 news said in an unsourced report that Israel was preparing for the talks to collapse and that the White House gave Israel the impression that further progress in the negotiations was unlikely because the Iranians would not agree to Trump’s demands.
According to the network, Israeli officials assess that Trump and other top American officials want to attack Iran, and that the US president needs to show he has let the negotiations run their course in order lend legitimacy to a potential attack.
High-level Israeli consultations seek to prepare for the possibility that Iran will launch a preemptive strike, and reflect an understanding that Israel will find itself operating alongside the US in case Trump decides to attack Iran, Channel 12 said.
