JD Vance highlights 'good conversations' with Iran amid reports about US preparing strikes after midterms
JD Vance says a US-Iran deal remains possible as Netanyahu pushes Trump for renewed strikes, while Gulf nations warn against further escalation.
Vice President JD Vance expressed cautious optimism on Monday that the United States and Iran could still reach a deal to avoid potential strikes on Iran in the United States. Vance had sent a letter to Iran’s security chief, Mohsen Rezaei, last week, but the White House provided little information about its contents. Trump claimed the letter focused on delivering medical supplies and other items.
However, Vance indicated there was reason to believe the U.S. and Iran could come to an agreement. He stated that he had spoken with Trump about the possibility of a negotiated settlement, and they were optimistic. The ongoing backchannel efforts are taking place as Israel and some Middle East allies urge Trump to consider strikes as the election approaches.
Iran has stated it is prepared for war or diplomacy, with the new Supreme Leader calling for immediate and widespread responses to any threat.
