Overview
- Vance stopped at the U.S. Air Base in Ramstein on Sunday during a planned refueling of Air Force Two, the blue-and-white Boeing C-32 used by the vice president.
- The flight followed Pakistan-brokered talks in Islamabad that began Saturday and ended without a deal, including no pledge from Tehran to give up nuclear weapons.
- Vance said the U.S. team left Iran a proposal he called a final offer, and he did not share the specific sticking points.
- Reporters traveling with Vance said the Ramstein pause was logistical rather than a formal visit, while Germany’s BILD cast the moment as politically sensitive for him.
- Ramstein hosts about 8,000 U.S. personnel and serves as the main U.S. air hub in Europe for transport and coordination toward the Middle East.
