JD Vance comments on reported talks involving Iran and the United States, after Iran denies peace discussions linked to Doha. According to the cited reports, Vance characterizes Iran’s denial as a “Persian” negotiating tactic rather than a final or conclusive statement of position. He also claims that the United States retains leverage in the situation, saying the US “holds all the cards.” The two outlets frame the remarks similarly, with both reporting that Vance attributes Iran’s public stance to strategy and negotiation behavior. Both accounts describe Vance’s characterization of Iran’s denial of talks and his assertion that the United States has the stronger position. The reporting does not provide additional verified detail on the status of negotiations beyond Iran’s denial and Vance’s response. Overall, the articles focus on Vance’s interpretation of Iran’s statements and his view of the balance of power in any potential diplomacy, presenting his comments as reaction to Iran’s denial of Doha-related peace talks.
