The second round of Iran–US nuclear talks has concluded with Tehran claiming a “broad agreement” on guiding principles for a potential deal. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi described the discussions as constructive but cautioned that progress does not mean a final agreement is imminent. No date has been set for a third round of negotiations.
Meanwhile, US Vice President JD Vance stated that Iran has yet to meet Washington’s “red lines,” signaling that major gaps remain.
