Vice President Vance Addresses the Future of US-Iran Relations
WASHINGTON — US Vice President JD Vance said Tuesday that deep mistrust between Washington and Tehran cannot be resolved overnight, but he expressed optimism about ongoing negotiations, noting that Iranian negotiators want to reach a deal.
“There is a lot of, of course, mistrust between Iran and the United States of America. You are not going to solve that problem overnight,” Vance said during a Turning Point USA event. “I feel very good about where we are,” he added.
His remarks came as President Donald Trump said talks to end the Iran war could resume in Pakistan within the next two days, following the collapse of weekend negotiations that led Washington to impose a blockade on Iranian ports. A fragile two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran still has one week remaining. Vance was involved in the talks last weekend in Pakistan.
The war began on February 28 when the US and Israel attacked Iran. Iran responded with strikes on Israel and Gulf states hosting US bases. Thousands have been killed and millions displaced.
