Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has described US Vice President JD Vance’s letter seeking dialogue with Tehran as a positive step towards diplomacy. Speaking to Al Jazeera on October 31, Araghchi said Iran had reviewed the communication but ruled out immediate direct talks with Washington. He warned that another outbreak of war remained possible, stressing that Iranian forces were prepared for all scenarios. Meanwhile, an Iranian delegation travelled to Qatar for discussions through mediators. Tehran is also reviewing proposals concerning its nuclear programme and has set conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. (PC: Reuters)
