Iran Receives Vance Letter, Signals No Shift in Peace Deal Terms
Iran received a letter sent by US Vice President JD Vance to its top security official, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported, with one of the country’s top negotiators later suggesting Tehran’s positions on ending the war will not be compromised.
Iran has reportedly received a letter from US Vice President JD Vance, addressed to its chief security official Mohsen Rezaee, according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency. The letter's contents remain undisclosed, but Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Iran's Parliament Speaker and a negotiator in previous talks to end the war, confirmed that Tehran's positions on resolving the conflict will not be altered.
Ghalibaf emphasized that Iran's conditions have been consistently communicated to the mediators, stating that the carrot-and-stick approach has no impact on Iran. This unexpected move by Vance follows ongoing negotiations between Iran and other countries, including Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan, which took place in Tehran this week.
Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei reiterated that his nation has specific conditions that must be met before ending the war. The conflict has resulted in thousands of deaths, primarily Iranian civilians, and has caused disruptions in energy shipments and global markets since the US-led airstrikes began in late February.
