Vance leaves for talks in Pakistan, warns Iran not to "play us"


Vice President JD Vance left Friday morning for Iran talks in Islamabad. The vice president said President Trump gave his negotiating team "some pretty clear guidelines" heading into the talks.


"We're looking forward to the negotiation," Vance told reporters before leaving Washington. "I think it's going to be positive. We'll of course see, 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."


"If they're going to try to play us, then they're going to find that the negotiating team is not that receptive," he added. "So, we're going to try to have a positive negotiation."


The vice president said he'll take questions later in the trip.
