Vice President J. Dee Vance sent a letter to the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Mohsen Razai, in an effort to revive peace talks, according to the WSJ. The letter was sent at the direction of President Trump as Washington considers renewed military strikes against Iran following next week's midterm elections. The advocacy focused on establishing a framework for future negotiations instead of discussing specific terms of a peace agreement. Vance examines whether there is enough common ground to convince Trump to wait with a parent on a short, intense military campaign against Iran. Some U.S. officials believe that cooperation with Iranian hardliners, whose influence has grown since the U.S.-Israeli strikes that killed senior Iranian leaders, could improve diplomacy's prospects.
