Vance Says Iran Talks Will Be Messy and Predicts an Eventual Deal

US Vice President JD Vance said negotiations with Iran will be messy and will take time before they produce an agreement. He said the Iranians are extraordinarily difficult people and that Tehran runs a fractured system in which some officials want the war over while radicals want it to continue, adding that his job is to navigate those divisions for the best American outcome. Vance predicted the process will ultimately reach a deal, said oil prices will come down and stay down, and repeated that Iran will not obtain a nuclear weapon. He said Washington is in the middle of the game and that observers are prejudging how it will end.
