Vice President JD Vance said Iranian negotiators refused to accept US terms for a deal, which he insisted had been “quite flexible.”
“We were quite accommodating. The president told us, ‘You need to come here in good faith and make your best effort to get a deal.’ We did that, and unfortunately, we weren’t able to make make any headway,” he said.
Vance suggested the primary sticking point was Iran’s refusal to abandon its nuclear program.
“We leave here with a very simple proposal, a method of understanding that is our final and best offer,” he said. “We’ll see if the Iranians accept it.”
