Vice President JD Vance laid out the boundaries that Tehran must agree to in order to trigger an end to the Iran War.
Speaking to Reuters following a campaign visit in Alaska, the vice president explained that a reduction in nuclear enrichment capacity would be necessary before negotiating an end to the war. No longer will vague assurances be enough to convince the United States to pull out, leaving the nation’s enemies to their own devices once again.
“If you don’t want a nuclear weapon, then why do you need 60% enriched fuel? And if you want to show commitment to not building a nuclear weapon, don’t build highly enriched fuel. That’s a very basic threshold issue,” he said. “I think if they want to show a commitment to not building a nuclear weapon, they would do something meaningful on their enrichment capacity.”
He also noted that it is “not totally clear” how the decisions are made in that country, which could lead to complicated diplomatic relations and drawn out negotiations.
“One of the things we picked up on is it’s not totally clear how their country makes decisions.”
Reuters also reported that Greek Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis offered its assistance to the United States regarding the Strait of Hormuz. The remark came during a visit from Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who praised the country in an X post on Wednesday.

“Arrived in Greece for the 6th U.S.-Greece Strategic Dialogue. Greece is a steadfast, capable NATO ally. We are united in defense, energy, and shared democratic values. The U.S.-Greece bond is deep, and our partnership is stronger than ever,” he wrote.
He also addressed national pride and the gradual turn toward shame that is now so pervasive in Western countries.
Watch:
“The word nationalism became a dirty word.”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the West turned against the very things that once defined its strength, saying nations grew ashamed of their history, prosperity, and achievements.
“We tore down our monuments. We condemned our own history, and in too many places, we taught our children to be ashamed of the countries they would inherit.”
Rubio ties that cultural shift to decisions on borders, industry, military strength, and national sovereignty, as more power was handed to global institutions.

“Over time, we in the West came to feel ashamed of the very things that made us exceptional. We felt embarrassed that our achievements set us apart from the rest of the world. Our prosperity somehow became a source of guilt; we no longer believed we deserved and had earned our greatness,” he said in Athens. “The word nationalism became a dirty word. And so we tore down our monuments. We condemned our own history, and in too many places, we taught our children to be ashamed of the countries they would inherit.”
“In the process, we opened our borders, outsourced our industries and allowed our militaries to wither and to decay,” he continued. “And with every passing year, we seemed to outsource more of our sovereignty, transferring our decisions to global bureaucracies far beyond the reach of our control.”
