US Vice President J.D. Vance said preventing nuclear proliferation in the Middle East remains a key priority of American foreign policy. He made the remarks in an interview with Fox News.
According to Vance, the emergence of nuclear weapons in Iran could trigger an uncontrolled arms race across the region. He stressed that Washington has already defined “clear red lines” regarding Tehran.
“If Iran acquires nuclear weapons, many other regimes—some friendly, some not—will seek them as well. That would be a catastrophe for the American people,” he said.
Earlier, The Wall Street Journal reported that Tehran had proposed suspending uranium enrichment and shipping part of its stockpile abroad to advance negotiations with the United States and reduce the risk of a potential strike. However, the initiative does not include a full abandonment of the nuclear program, which is demanded by US President Donald Trump.
On the same day, reports emerged that Washington was increasing its military presence in the Middle East, sending a second carrier strike group to the region and deploying more than 50 F-35, F-22, and F-16 fighter jets.
