The Wall Street Journal reports that President Donald Trump recently told advisers he did not object to Vice President JD Vance’s efforts to restart direct talks with Tehran over resolving the conflict. Vance sent Iranian official Mohsen Rezaei a letter in October proposing a meeting. No meeting has been agreed, though discussions continue through intermediaries. Iran’s foreign minister previously said no meeting was planned and reports of one were baseless.

Trump said further strikes were unlikely, while Vice President JD Vance favours a deal.
