Evidence shows Iran tried to advance nuclear weapons, VP Vance says
![]() 820 Thursday, 26 February, 2026, 10:00 US Vice President JD Vance said on Wednesday that Washington has seen evidence suggesting Iran is attempting to rebuild its nuclear program, underscoring the stakes ahead of scheduled talks. "Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon if they try to rebuild a nuclear weapon that causes problems for us, and in fact, we've seen evidence that they have tried to do exactly that. So the President sending those negotiators to try to address that problem, as the President has said repeatedly, he wants to address that problem diplomatically. But of course, the President has other options as well," he said at the White House. |
