# Vance signals progress but warns Iran talks could fail

Progress and peril: Vance said talks with Iran are in a 'pretty good spot' but warned force remains an option if nuclear red lines are crossed. Trump’s near-strike: The Vice President’s remarks came hours after Trump revealed he was 'an hour away' from ordering fresh strikes on Iran. High stakes ahead: Negotiations could ease tensions and reopen oil trade, but failure risks renewed conflict with regional and political consequences.
