Speaking to Reuters, he said, \"If you don't want a nuclear weapon, then why do you need 60% enriched fuel? And if you want to show commitment to not building a nuclear weapon, don't build highly enriched fuel. That's a very basic threshold issue.\"Vance, who is a longtime skeptic of US involvement in foreign wars, has taken a leading role in negotiating a settlement to end the conflict and had previously managed to broker a provisional peace agreement in June that quickly fell apart.
