Vance: Trump will not send troops to Iran unless necessary
US Vice President JD Vance said that President Donald Trump will not send troops to Iran unless necessary. Vance, stating that talks in Doha are going well, warned Iran on its nuclear program and inspections.
US Vice President JD Vance said that President Donald Trump will not send troops to Iran unless necessary.
In a press statement on Wednesday, Vance said he could not make any firm commitments on any matter, as it ultimately depends on Iran's steps. However, he emphasized that he could promise that Trump will not send troops to Iran unless necessary or within a clearly defined objective.
Referring to the ongoing talks in the Qatari capital Doha, Vance noted that the talks are "going well" but are still in their early stages. He stated that the US will do everything necessary to make the talks successful.
Warning Iran, Vance said that if Tehran attempts to rebuild its nuclear program, refuses inspections, or resumes targeting commercial ships, which it has halted in recent days, the US President still has "many options."
Meanwhile, Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman met with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner on Tuesday to discuss the latest status of US-Iran talks and efforts to solidify the ceasefire in Lebanon.
Iran and the US signed a memorandum of understanding on June 18, 2026, providing for the cessation of hostilities, the lifting of the naval blockade on Iran, and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. As part of the implementation, technical talks began on June 21 in Switzerland under the joint mediation of Qatar and Pakistan.
However, the negotiation process was disrupted when the US accused Iran on June 25 of attacking a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, deeming it a violation of the agreement, and then US forces launched strikes on Iranian targets near the strait. Iran announced that it had carried out attacks on what it described as "American interests" in the region.
The escalation has slowed down the talks, which are currently limited to indirect technical rounds in Doha only under Qatari mediation.
