De Vance offered to meet personally with Iranian hardliner Mohsen Razai, the former commander of the Revolutionary Guards, to negotiate a nuclear deal. Iran received the letter but has yet to respond, rejecting a separate Qatari peace proposal as unacceptable. Meanwhile, US military forces are preparing for the possibility of renewed attacks. Washington keeps both options on the table. - Washington Post.
