Vance Warns US Still 'in the Middle of the Game' with Iran Despite Talks The United States and Iran have been engaged in indirect talks for months aimed at reviving the 2015 nuclear deal that former President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew from in May 2018.
The negotiations, facilitated by European intermediaries, have made some progress, but a key hurdle remains: Iran's demands for the US to lift its sanctions on Tehran before it takes any steps to limit its nuclear program.
Secretary Antony Blinken has stated that the US is still "in the middle of the game" when it comes to negotiating with Iran.
