BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 14. The United States
believes that the objectives of its military operation against Iran
have been fulfilled, and it is now possible to move toward ending
the conflict, U.S. Vice President JD Vance said, Trend reports.
“I truly believe that we are in a situation where our goals have
been achieved,” he noted.
According to Vance, the preferred option would be to end the
conflict through successful negotiations.
In addition, Washington continues to insist that Tehran
eventually transfer all its stockpiles of enriched uranium to the
United States.
“We have said that we want this material to be removed from the
country, and we would like to have it under our control,” the vice
president said.
He added that Iran’s nuclear program, despite Tehran’s claims
that it has no intention of developing nuclear weapons, remains a
concern for the United States.
“That is why we would like to completely remove this material
from the country so that it is under the control of the United
States,” Vance emphasized.
Due to the lack of concrete results on the nuclear program
between the United States and Iran, on February 28 the United
States and Israel began military airstrikes on Iran. Since the same
day, Iran has been firing missiles and drones at Israel and U.S.
targets in the region. With Pakistan’s mediation, a two-week
ceasefire agreement was reached between the parties on April 7.
However, no agreement was reached during talks between the United
States and Iran in Islamabad on April 11.
