00:00The second round of indirect nuclear talks between Iran and the United States also concluded in Geneva, with new talks
00:08to be scheduled.

00:16a set of guiding principles to move forward.
00:21Arachi said progress does not mean a deal is imminent, adding it will take time to narrow the differences, with
00:27both sides preparing draft text for a third round of talks.
00:30In Washington, Vice President J.D. Vance told Fox News that talks were mixed, confirming contact will continue, but warning
00:38that U.S. red lines remain.
00:40He said the U.S. is actively trying to find a solution, whether it is through diplomatic options or otherwise,
00:47insisting Iran must not obtain a nuclear weapon.
00:50Iran earlier said it is ready to defend itself against any aggression.
00:54Just as the talks began in Geneva, Iranian media reported the temporary closure of parts of the Strait of Hormuz
01:01during military exercises conducted by the Revolutionary Guards.
01:05Iran has repeatedly threatened to close the waterway, a critical maritime route which roughly one-fifth of global oil supplies
01:13passed through.
