US Vice President JD Vance Contacts Iran Hard-Liner Amid Trump’s Military ThreatsPreviousNext

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 talks amid President Donald Trump's threats of renewed military strikes. The outreach, reportedly directed by Trump, seeks to prevent further conflict but has not included specific peace terms. Trump denied ordering peace negotiations, stating the contact concerned medical supplies. Iran has insisted it will not negotiate until its core demands are met.
