Vance: US-Iran Deal "Not There Yet" But Sides Are Close

⏱️ VANCE — He's keeping the nuclear threat live while calling the gap closeable. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Vance pairing "close" with a strike threat isn't ambiguity — it's leverage maintenance. With an MOU reportedly awaiting Trump's signature, this signals Washington isn't ready to drop the military option as a bargaining chip. Tehran reads it as a deadline, not optimism. The gap Vance won't name is almost certainly Hormuz control sequencing or uranium custody.
