What happened

Well supportedReported by 68 independent outlets

JD Vance contacted Iran's security chief, Mohsen Rezaei, to revive peace talks, according to a report citing the Wall Street Journal. Vance sent a letter to Mohsen Rezaei, outlining a framework for negotiations rather than specific peace proposals. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that US outreach is a positive step, but noted that there are currently no plans for meetings with US officials. Separately, the Trump administration reportedly warned Gulf countries to prepare for a major American military strike against Iran.
