Vance reaches out to Iran security chief in bid to restart peace talks, WSJ reports
The outreach seeks a framework to end the war and could include sanctions relief and access to frozen Iranian funds, officials said.
- On Wednesday, Vice President JD Vance sent a letter to Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, at President Donald Trump's direction to restart peace negotiations.
- Vance is assessing if Iran and the United States can find common ground to convince Trump to cancel a potential strike on Tehran planned after next week's midterm elections.
- Rezaei, a former Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander from 1981 to 1997, is a close ally of Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei and viewed as one of Tehran's most influential hard-liners.
- Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that while Iran is open to diplomacy, the country requires "reliable, implementable, and irrevocable guarantees" from the United States to ensure peace.
- The Pentagon has increased military assets in the Middle East while Iran weighs a Qatar-led nuclear offer proposing United Nations inspectors access to bombed sites.
