Vance says US hopes to ‘transform’ Middle East as Iran talks begin

Vice President JD Vance stated the U.S. aims to 'transform' the Middle East through negotiations with Iran to end regional conflicts, but ongoing fighting in Lebanon and Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz threaten progress. President Donald Trump has threatened military action against Iran if needed, while Vance emphasized the U.S. demand for Iran to abandon nuclear weapons ambitions.
