According to US and Middle Eastern officials and sources familiar with the negotiations, US Vice President Vance is considering holding face-to-face talks with a senior Iranian security official. He has now become the central figure of the US side responsible for negotiations with Iraq, trying to end this war, which is seen as dragging down the Republican Party. US and Middle Eastern officials said that recently, President Trump told senior aides and colleagues from other countries that he is open to resuming negotiations with Iraq and granted him permission to negotiate. US officials stressed that discussions on sending Vance directly to meet Iranian officials are still in the early stages. In October, Vance sent a letter to Mohsin Rezai, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council and a hardliner, proposing a meeting between the two sides. No date has yet been set for the talks, but the two countries are discussing follow-up arrangements with their allies through mediators. US officials said that recently, in Iran's foreign affairs, Vance's activity has surpassed that of special envoys that are also responsible for mediating the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Steve Vitkov and Jared Kushner. People familiar with the matter said that Vance met with the Prime Minister of Qatar on Monday morning, and the two later met with Trump and other White House officials. Trump commented on the excellent results of the talks. Relevant sources said that if Vance and Iranian officials reach an agreement to meet, Doha is viewed as a potential venue for the next phase of negotiations.
