US Vice President JD Vance is considering holding face-to-face talks with a senior Iranian security official as Washington seeks a way out of its war on Iran, Anadolu reports citing The Wall Street Journal, which cities US and Middle Eastern officials.
President Donald Trump has recently signalled to aides and foreign counterparts that he is open to Vance leading renewed negotiations with Tehran, giving the vice president authority to pursue diplomatic efforts, the report says.
The Journal reports that Vance sent a letter in October to Iran’s Mohsen Rezaei, the Secretary of the country’s Supreme National Security Council, requesting a meeting.
The move carries significant political risks for Vance, who could become the public face of negotiations if they fail to secure an agreement, the report said. A successful outcome, however, could strengthen his standing as the official who helped bring an end to an unpopular conflict.
