JD Vance Contacts Iran Hard-Liner to Explore Peace Talks Amid US Strike Threats
US Vice President JD Vance has sent a letter to Iranian hard-liner Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, aiming to explore a framework for peace negotiations amid escalating tensions. The outreach, reportedly directed by President Donald Trump, seeks to prevent renewed military strikes following the US midterm elections. Trump has denied ordering peace talks, stating the communication concerned medical supplies. Iran insists it will not negotiate until its core demands are met, while both sides continue to weigh diplomatic and military options.
