> US Vice President JD Vance says Washington will keep pressuring Iran while testing Tehran’s readiness for a long-term agreement. A discussion examines the worsening US-Iran tensions and diplomatic attempts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Abas Aslani, a senior researcher at a Tehran-based strategic studies centre, says Iran wants a durable deal that addresses its security concerns and ends what it regards as repeated US military pressure. The panel considers whether such diplomacy can produce a lasting resolution.
