Wall Street Journal: Vice President J. De Vance - at the direction of Trump - sent a letter to the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Mohsen Razai, asking to revive the peace negotiations, at a time when Washington is considering launching new military strikes against Iran following the US midterm elections scheduled for next week. This step is intended to create a framework for future talks rather than to negotiate specific peace terms. Vance wants to assess whether there is enough common ground to delay a potential US military campaign, which could be short and intense. Some US officials believe that communicating with extremists in Iran could increase the chances of diplomacy.
