US Vice President JD Vance has reportedly sent a letter to Iranian security chief Mohsen Rezaei in an effort to revive negotiations and prevent potential American military strikes against Iran. According to The Wall Street Journal, Vance sent the letter at President Donald Trump’s direction to assess whether Washington and Tehran could narrow their differences and avert a possible military campaign. Iran’s Tasnim news agency reported that Tehran had received the letter but had not yet responded. The diplomatic outreach comes less than a week before the US congressional midterm elections, as Trump continues warning of renewed military action. US officials have reportedly described a potential operation as a “short but intense” campaign in the coming weeks. (PC: AP)
