رسالة من فانس لرضائي بهدف إحياء المفاوضات بين واشنطن وطهران
(opens the publisher’s site)US Vice President JD Vance, on Trump's direction, has sent a message to Iran's Supreme National Security Council secretary Mohsen Rezaei seeking to revive stalled negotiations.
- Vance's message to Rezaei, reported by the Wall Street Journal, centered on a potential framework for negotiations rather than a specific peace proposal.
- Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran continues to give diplomacy a chance while its armed forces stand ready to defend the country.
- New Pentagon estimates presented to Congress put the cost of the war against Iran at $47.1 billion.
- A US-Iran memorandum of understanding signed in June collapsed after two weeks over differing interpretations of resuming navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
- Trump denied reports that he directed Vance to begin peace talks with Iran, saying the contact concerned Tehran's need for medical supplies.
- Araghchi said Tehran remains in close and ongoing contact with mediators over its proposed seven-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
