U.S. and Iranian officials concluded another round of nuclear negotiations in Geneva Tuesday.

He characterized the discussions as “very serious” and said more details would be negotiated in subsequent sessions.
U.S. officials put forward a more cautious assessment of the negotiations. Vice President J.D. Vance said Iran had not agreed to several key U.S. demands and warned that military action remained an option if diplomacy fails.
