J. Dee Vance personally entered the Iran-US negotiations, claims Axios, citing two knowledgeable sources:

J. Dee Vance, the vice president of the United States, played a prominent role in the indirect negotiations with Iran during the past two weeks. These efforts began two weeks ago; When Vance sent a letter to Mohsen Razai, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, offering direct negotiations. Vance also spoke almost daily with mediators involved in the peace talks between Iran and the United States, including Qatar's prime minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, and Pakistan's army chief, Asim Munir. Vance and the Qatari and Pakistani mediators discussed the possibility of holding an expert-level technical meeting between Iran and the United States in the near future; however, no time has yet been set for such a meeting. US officials and regional sources told Axius that for now it appears that Donald Trump is willing to allow diplomatic efforts to continue.
