❗️️️️️️️Vance reportedly seeking direct talks with Iran’s national security chief in bid to end unpopular war According to The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), US Vice President JD Vance is considering direct talks with Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei in an effort to end the increasingly unpopular and illegal war. President Donald Trump has authorized Vance to pursue renewed negotiations, with the vice president reportedly sending Rezaei a letter in October requesting a meeting. Discussions remain preliminary, with Doha emerging as a possible venue, while Tehran demands an end to the US naval blockade, the release of frozen assets, and relief from oil sanctions before talks resume. The WSJ reported that leading negotiations carries significant political risks for Vance, who has publicly blamed the war for Republican setbacks in the midterm elections. A diplomatic failure could damage his standing if Iran refuses major concessions, while ending the war could deliver a political victory. Rezaei, however, has dismissed reports of negotiations as “imaginary talks,” insisting that Iran “won’t remove even a single particle of enriched nuclear material from the country.”
