U.S. Official Vance Extends Olive Branch to Iran as Trump Warns of Possible Bombing

The United States and Iran have started a fresh round of nuclear talks in Switzerland. Vance signaled a willingness to engage Iran diplomatically. He described the approach as an “outstretched hand” to encourage negotiations. President Donald Trump warned that the United States could resort to bombing if talks fail. The contrasting statements illustrate a split within the administration on how to proceed. The talks focus on Iran’s nuclear program. The split message raises questions about the United States’ negotiating strategy. The outcome in Switzerland will influence the next steps of U.S. policy toward Iran.
