U.S. Vice President JD Vance says Iran talks will be messy and lengthy
U.S. Vice President JD Vance told Fox News that negotiations with Iran will be “messy” and take time, citing the Iranian leadership’s fractured system and internal factions that both want the war to end and want it to continue. He said oil was trading at $79 a barrel and predicted that a future agreement would keep Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon while leaving the United States in a stronger position.
President Donald Trump also said he prefers a diplomatic settlement with Tehran to avoid loss of life, while warning that the United States is prepared for a large‑scale military strike if talks fail. Both officials referenced ongoing contacts between Iran and Oman about a possible 60‑day truce and shared control of the Strait of Hormuz.
Vance denied reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confronted him, describing Israel as a “great partner.” Media commentary noted that the United States and Israel have not achieved a strategic victory over Iran.
