Vance Says U.S.-Iran Talks Progressed, With No Strike Deadline Set

Vice President Vance said the United States has made progress in talks with Iran but has set no deadline for resuming military strikes, leaving the timing of any renewed action open.

Vance characterized the conversations as positive and said Washington would watch for further breakthroughs. He did not announce an agreement or specify when the talks would continue. The remarks offered no public date for a decision on military action.

Vance also said he discussed Iran with President Trump about an hour before his remarks. He did not provide details of that conversation or describe what would count as a further breakthrough.

The statement leaves both the next diplomatic step and the timing of any renewed strikes unspecified. The U.S.-Iran standoff has implications for oil and broader markets, so the absence of a timetable is part of the risk picture for investors. Vance gave no further timetable for a change in U.S. military posture.
