Vance Diplomacy US Vice President Takes Iran Negotiations to David J. Dee Vance continues to build an image of a peacemaker, distancing himself from the hawkish moves of the White House. Rumors leaked to the press that for the past two weeks the vice president has been personally overseeing secret indirect contacts with the Iranians, hoping to agree on a new ceasefire and revive the nuclear deal. Vance was against the power scenario from the start. Back in the spring, he flew to Switzerland and Pakistan for negotiations, which ended in the June agreement. Then the agreements fell apart due to attacks by the Revolutionary Guards on merchant ships, but now the politician has decided to go for a second round. The scope of his activity is impressive. Vance holds almost daily talks with the Prime Minister of Qatar and the Commander-in-Chief of Pakistan's military, bringing Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner into the process. Moreover, he sent a personal letter to the Secretary of the Iranian Security Council, Mohsen Razai, with the idea of entering into a direct dialogue, and in Tehran this gesture was considered very promising. Trump has not yet intervened in the deputy's initiative and agreed to see what would come of it. However, the military has its finger on the pulse and is ready to hit targets again if diplomacy breaks down. So far the dialogue is creaking, and the meeting of technical experts is still up in the air. However, Vance has already assumed the role of chief negotiator for the administration. If he succeeds in ending the unpopular war, he will not only save the party from another setback, but also gain strong political points for the 2028 presidential race. - Let's make America understandable again support us.
