Vice President Vance

We go back to the United States having not come to an agreement.

We've made very clear what our red lines are, what things we're willing to accommodate them on and what things we're not willing to accommodate them on.

We need to see an affirmative commitment that they will not seek a nuclear weapon and they will not seek the tools that would enable them to quickly achieve a nuclear weapon.

We've had a number of substantive discussions with the Iranians.

That's the good news.

The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement.

And I think that's bad news for Iran much more than it's bad news for the United States of America.

So we go back to the United States having not come to an agreement.

We've made very clear what our red lines are, what things we're willing to accommodate them on, and what things we're not willing to accommodate them on.

And we've made that as clear as we possibly could.

And they have chosen not to accept our terms.

You know, I think it's already been regime change, but we never had that as a criteria.

No nuclear weapon.

That's 99 percent of it.

We're looking forward to the negotiation.

I think it's going to be positive.

We'll foresee, as the President of the United States said, if the Iranians are willing to negotiate in good faith, we're certainly willing to extend the open hand.

If they're going to try to play us, then they're going to find that the negotiating team is not that receptive.

We're looking forward to the negotiation.

I think it's going to be positive.
