JD Vance considers direct diplomacy with Iran to end war

DUBAI: US Vice President JD Vance is contemplating talks with a senior Iranian security official as Washington seeks a way out of the war with Iran, reported the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday.

According to the report, US President Donald Trump told foreign counterparts he was open to Vance taking the lead in renewed negotiations with Tehran, giving his vice president authority to pursue diplomatic efforts.

Washington and Tehran are communicating through mediators and regional allies about the next steps, according to the report, but no official date has been set yet.

The WSJ said Vance sent a letter in October to Iran’s secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, Mohsen Rezaei, requesting a meeting.
