Iran war: US will make Iran 'thrive' if it ditches nukes

US Vice President JD Vance has said that mistrust between Iran and the United States can't be resolved overnight. 

But Iranian negotiators wanted to make a deal, he said on Tuesday evening.

Earlier on Tuesday, President Donald Trump suggested talks between Iran and the US could resume within the next two days. 

Vance led the US delegation in the first round of talks last weekend in Pakistan. The talks ended in apparent failure after less than a day.

On Tuesday, however, Vance said he felt "very good about where we are."

"There is a lot of, of course, mistrust between Iran and the United States of America. You are not going to solve that problem ?overnight," Vance said. 

Vance also said that Trump didn't want to make "a small deal," but a "grand bargain."

According to Vance, Trump was telling Iran: "If you guys commit to not having a nuclear weapon, we are going to make Iran thrive."

The deal would make Iran "prosper and join the world economy," the US vice president said.

UN's Guterres says it's 'highly probable' US-Iran talks will resume

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has said that it's "highly probable" that talks between Iran and the United States will restart. 

Guterres said that he met with Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar on Tuesday, without giving further details.

Pakistan hosted unsuccessful US-Iran negotiations at the weekend. In the following days, Pakistani leaders said they were not giving up efforts to help end the conflict. 

Speaking to reporters at the UN in New York on Tuesday evening, Guterres stressed that there was "no military solution" to the conflict and that "serious negotiations must resume."
