American media: Vance is behind the scenes and pushing for a new agreement with Iran Xinhua News Agency, Washington, November 6 (Reporters Huang Qiang and Xu Jianmei) According to a report by the American news site Axios on the 6th, US Vice President Vance has directly participated in indirect talks with Iran in the past two weeks, in an attempt to reach a new ceasefire agreement and restart the nuclear negotiations with Iran. The report quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that Vance was in almost daily communication with Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad, Pakistan Army Chief of Staff Munir and other intermediaries, and US President Trump's special envoy Vitkov and Trump's son-in-law Kushner were also involved. Wan Xi and the mediators have discussed the possibility of holding a working-level technical meeting between the US and Iran in the coming days, but it has not yet been implemented. When Trump answered questions from the media at the White House on the 6th, he said that the United States is in dialogue with Iran and things are going smoothly. Earlier today, Trump had a phone conversation with the emir (head of state) Tamim of Qatar. According to a statement released by the Emir's Palace in Qatar, the two sides discussed how to ease regional tensions and promote a comprehensive agreement to end the crisis. Vance led the US negotiating team to participate in the US-Iran negotiations held in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, in April. After the United States and Iran reached a memorandum of understanding in June, Vance led an American delegation to hold talks with Iran in Switzerland. On the 4th of this month, Vance published a long article on social media analyzing the reasons for the defeat of the Republican Party in the midterm elections, and bluntly stated that the war with Iran was the main reason.
