GENEVA - Iran said on Feb 17 it had agreed with the United States in talks in Geneva on “guiding principles” for a deal to avoid conflict, but Vice-President JD Vance said Tehran had not yet acknowledged all of Washington’s red lines.

The Omani-mediated talks were aimed at averting the possibility of US military intervention to curb Iran’s nuclear programme, weeks after the cleric-run state killed thousands of people as it crushed mass demonstrations.
