Progress in Iran-US talks ‘real’, but process is still ‘fragile’

JD Vance said the Iranians didn’t walk out. He said there was a little bit of threats, a little bit of whining, that they threatened to walk out but didn’t actually walk out.

I don’t think it really matters. I think it shows that there has been some real progress here, but the process is still very delicate and fragile.

There is a process that can now be a structure for the negotiations. The technical talks continue, and there are various mechanisms in this process that if there’s a problem, then they will get to the problem straight away, resolve it without it derailing the whole process.

He mentioned the Strait of Hormuz and Lebanon as particular areas where they are going to focus.
