JD VANCE SAYS US-IRAN MISTRUST CANNOT BE RESOLVED OVERNIGHT – Iranian negotiators wanted to make a deal
U.S. Vice President JD Vance said on Tuesday there was a lot of mistrust between Washington and Tehran that cannot be resolved overnight.
He added that Iranian negotiators wanted to make a deal and that he felt “very good about where we are.”
Talks to end the Iran war could resume in Pakistan over the next two days, President Donald Trump said on Tuesday, after the collapse of weekend negotiations prompted Washington to impose a blockade on Iranian ports.
A two-week ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran still has a week to run. Vance was involved in the talks last weekend in Pakistan.
Iranian negotiators wanted to make a deal, he said. “I feel very good about where we are,” Vance added.
The Iran war began when the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on February 28. Iran responded with its own strikes on Israel and Gulf states that host U.S. bases. U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran and Israeli attacks in Lebanon have killed thousands and displaced millions.
