US Vice President JD Vance says “pragmatists” within Iran’s leadership want to transform Tehran’s relationship with the world and those people “are winning the argument”.

“The United States wants to have a better relationship, but in order for that to happen, the Iranians have to perform,” he tells reporters, referring to Tehran honouring its end of the US-Iran agreement.

“If they don’t perform, as we’ve said before, they don’t get any of the benefits of the bargain,” he adds.
