On Wednesday, US Vice President Joe Biden’s pick for Secretary of State, JD Vance, stated that peace negotiations with Iran would be "messy" and take time. He further elaborated during an interview with Fox News, suggesting that the Iranians are "extraordinarily difficult people" and possess a "fractured system."

Vance emphasized that the objective of these negotiations is to achieve the best outcome for both Americans and the President of the United States. He also mentioned that the oil prices, currently at $79, are expected to decrease and remain low, which he believes will benefit Iran and the US. "Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, and the United States will be in a stronger position," Vance asserted.

However, Vance also noted that they are currently "in the middle of the game," and some people may be "prejudging exactly how this is going to go." Earlier on Wednesday, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi hinted that Iran has not yet decided whether to proceed with the implementation of the previously signed US-Iran memorandum of understanding.
