🔶 JD Vance: Iran’s denial of Doha talks is the country’s negotiating tactic JD Vance, the U.S. vice president, said on Tuesday, June 30 (the 9th of Tir), that the Islamic Republic’s public denials about the ongoing talks are simply an “Iranian negotiating tactic.” At the same time, he confirmed that technical discussions between the two countries are underway. In an interview with the Michael Knowles Show, Vance said: “There had been scheduled talks; discussions that are completely technical, based on the previous negotiations we had. These talks will certainly take place tomorrow.” He called the remarks by Iranian officials “interesting and at the same time disappointing,” adding: “On the one hand, they reject conducting peaceful negotiations, but on the other hand, they talk about holding technical talks. This is an Iranian negotiating tactic and a rhetorical trick that I don’t understand.”
