Vance's letter to Mohsen Razai The Wall Street Journal reported that J. Dee Vance sent a letter to Mossane Rezaei, Iran's top security official, to renew efforts to revive peace talks at the behest of Donald Trump. The purpose of this action is to prevent a possible new US attack on Iran after next week's midterm elections. The talks so far have focused on the framework of negotiations, not on a concrete proposal for peace. Washington wants Iran to make concessions in the nuclear field, while Tehran is asking for immediate relief from economic pressures.
