Iran Nuclear Talks Collapse After US Officials Conclude Tehran's Claims 'Did Not Pass the Smell Test
US Vice President JD Vance confirmed that Iran's nuclear talks collapsed after US officials deemed Tehran's claims 'unbelievable', leading to President Trump launching strikes against Iranian missile sites.
Vice President JD Vance confirmed that talks between the US and Iran over its nuclear program collapsed after American officials deemed Tehran's claims 'unsatisfactory' and 'did not pass the smell test.' The collapse came before President Trump authorized military strikes against Iranian targets in response to the country's missile strikes on two US military bases in Iraq. Vance did not specify what exactly led to the failure of talks, but his comments suggest that the US had concerns about Iran's intentions. The collapse marked a significant escalation in tensions between the two countries following a US drone strike that killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani.
