Mike Pence warned the Trump administration against repeating Obama-style Iran nuclear deals, insisting on the unconditional abandonment of Iran's nuclear program. As talks begin in Pakistan, Pence stressed that the US must maintain a strong military readiness. JD Vance also indicated openness to talks but warned that any breach would face serious consequences.
President Trump warned that he would authorize bigger and stronger military strikes if Iran fails to reach an agreement. He demanded the abandonment of nuclear weapons and the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, threatening severe action if talks collapse. Although a temporary ceasefire was mediated by Pakistan, the situation remains fragile due to Iran's pushback against Israeli strikes in Lebanon.
Cracks have appeared in the temporary US-Iran ceasefire deal following Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon, which caused significant casualties. Iran accused the US of violating the agreement and hinted at suspending tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. Both sides are set to resume peace talks in Pakistan, with nuclear issues remaining a focus.
