US President Donald Trump has told his aides that he is open to resuming talks with Iran and has given Vice President J. Dee Vance relinquished the authority to lead the talks amid the possibility of a direct meeting with hardline Iranian security official Mohsen Razai.
Vance is considering holding personal talks with the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Mohsen Razai. In October 2026, the US Vice President had already sent him a letter and requested a meeting.
Qatar's capital, Doha, is considered the venue for the next phase of negotiations, but the exact date has not yet been set, and discussions are taking place at a preliminary level through mediators.
