US Vice President JD Vance said on Friday he was looking forward to having positive negotiations with Iran as he left for talks in Pakistan with a warning to Tehran not to "play us."
"We're
looking forward to the negotiation. I think it's going to be positive,"
Vance told reporters before leaving Washington.
"As
the president of the United States said, if the Iranians are willing to
negotiate in good faith, we're certainly willing to extend the open hand,"
Vance said. "If they're going to try to play us, then they're going to
find the negotiating team is not that receptive."
