Vance acknowledged the complexities in negotiating with Iranian officials, describing them as "confusing" but emphasizing efforts to engage in meaningful dialogue.
Recent talks in Switzerland concluded, leading to the establishment of working groups focused on nuclear affairs and sanctions, hinting at a structured approach to mitigate ongoing tensions and address mutual concerns.
