Washington Post, citing a source: Iranian leaders saw Vance's message as a sign of respect but no indication of a shift in their position

Iran ·

The Washington Post, citing an informed source, reported that Iranian leaders regarded Vance's message as a sign of respect, with no sign that Tehran was backing away from its positions. The report said US communication focuses on exploring a general framework for negotiations and ensuring Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon.

The United States and Iran have had no diplomatic relations since 1980 and have long disputed Iran's nuclear programme, which Tehran says is peaceful.
