Vance states US won't return to conflict with Iran unless needed
Make us preferred on Google US Vice Head JD Vance makes an opening comment at the Lake Lucerne Conference, June 21, 2026. — Reuters Visit by US envoys set groundwork for dialogue: source. Intensive diplomacy has continued on Lebanon: source. Iran also prioritising release of frozen assets.
US Vice Head JD Vance stated discussions between the US and Iran were going well as they held indirect technical dialogue in Qatar about the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, adding Washington would not return to full combat unless necessary.
The dialogue are based on a 14-point interim accord signed last month that was meant to halt the conflict that began with US-Israeli strikes on Iran in February and reopen the strait, while setting up 60 days of dialogue for a permanent calm pact.
However, the US and Iran have sparred publicly over the meaning of the interim pact, leading to tit-for-tat legal defence team strikes over the past week and leaving little sign of progress on more complex issues, including on Iran's nuclear programme.
Vance stated he could not guarantee that Washington would not return to full combat operations ahead of next month's deadline but that for now Head Donald Trump had directed representatives to make a pact.
