Leaving Washington on Friday, Vance said Trump had given the team "pretty clear guidelines," that he expected the talks to be positive, and that if Iran tried "to play us" the negotiators would not be receptive. Trump told the New York Post U.S. warships were being loaded with "the best ammunition" for use if there was no deal.

Why it matters

Trump said the outcome would be known "in about 24 hours," pairing the diplomacy with an explicit threat to resume strikes.
