Donald Trump is still considering possibilities but there is no chance that the United States will be dragged into a long war. Vice President JD Vance said this in an interview with the Washington Post, underlining that he does not know what Trump will decide, that is, whether to attack to “ensure that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon” or resolve the issue with diplomacy. Vance also says he continues to consider himself a “military intervention skeptic” abroad, and the same goes for Trump. “I think we all prefer the diplomatic option, but it depends on what the Iranians do and say.”
After a day of discussions in Geneva, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said he had had the “most intense” talks so far with the Americans. “This negotiation session was the most intense we have ever had so far,” the Iranian negotiator underlined in a message on X overnight, underlining that “new progress has been made in our diplomatic engagement with the United States.”

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Friday that in order to reach a deal, the United States will have to abandon its “excessive demands” following talks between the two sides in Geneva. In a phone call with the highest representative of Egyptian diplomacy, Badr Abdelatty, Araghchi stated that “success in this path requires seriousness and realism on the part of the other side, avoiding any miscalculation and excessive requests.”
