US Vice President JD Vance says any effort to resolve tensions and pursue peace negotiations with Iran will be difficult and slow. In interviews aired on Fox News, Vance described the process as “messy” and said it would “take some time.” He links the challenge to Iran’s internal and political structure, saying Iran has a “fractured system.” Vance also addresses reports that Iran denies talks with the United States, suggesting that regardless of the current state of dialogue, the negotiations—if and when they proceed—will require difficult navigation. While he does not outline a specific timeline or concrete deal terms, Vance indicates that achieving US objectives will likely require sustained engagement rather than quick progress. Across the reports, the central point is Vance’s assessment that negotiations with Iran are expected to be protracted and complex, rather than straightforward or fast-moving.
