Speaking to reporters before boarding Air Force Two, Vance said he expected the talks to be constructive but warned against any attempt to manipulate the process.
“We’re looking forward to the negotiation. I think it’s gonna be positive. We’ll of course see,” he said. Citing guidance from the White House, Vance added that the US remains open to diplomacy if Tehran engages in good faith. “If the Iranians are willing to negotiate in good faith, we’re certainly willing to extend the open hand,” he said.
