A lot of good progress is being made, but we’re just going to keep on working at it, and eventually we’ll either hit a deal or we won’t,” Vance said during a White House press briefing.
“We are not going to have a deal that allows the Iranians to have a nuclear weapon, so as the president just told me, we are locked and loaded,” he said, adding: “We don’t want to go down that pathway, but the president is willing and able to if we have to.”
Vance spoke hours after Trump told reporters he had given Tehran “two or three days” to reach an agreement. “I was an hour away from making the decision to go today,” Trump said on Tuesday.
