U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance said Washington expects a two-stage verification process as part of a potential agreement with Iran, signaling cautious optimism about ongoing negotiations.
In an interview with American media, Vance noted that several key details still require discussion and refinement. He said U.S. officials are closely monitoring which concessions Tehran may be willing to make as talks continue.
