JD Vance: US-Iran mistrust cannot be solved overnight US Vice President JD Vance said there was a lot of mistrust between the United States and Iran which cannot be resolved overnight, but added that Tehran's negotiators were keen to make a deal. Vance said that he feels “very good about where we are” and that the “ceasefire is holding” in comments made on Tuesday. The US and Iran met on Saturday in Pakistan for the highest-level peace talks since the US-allied Shah, intalled by a CIA-backed coup, was overthrown in the Iranian Revolution half a century ago.
