US receives indirect messages from Iran, VP Vance says

Jun 22, 2025, 13:24 GMT+1

The United States has received indirect communications from Iran in recent days, US Vice President Vance said Sunday, without elaborating on their content or source.

“Iran’s missile program has shown to be a failure,” he added.

"US has pushed Iran's nuclear program back by a very long time."

“Final decision on Iran strikes was made right before they happened,” he added.

Washington aims to "talk to Iran about a long‑term settlement," Vance noted, but said the US does not seek a regime change.

“We have no interest in boots on the ground,” he added.

Vance said US intelligence reporting motivated the decision to act against Iran, and dismissed fears of a prolonged conflict: “I don’t fear this is going to become a protracted conflict.”
