Center Owned by The Tribune TrustJD Vance spearheads quiet diplomatic push for new Iran deal: Report
What's behind this
JD Vance is heading U.S. back‑channel talks with Iran aimed at reviving a cease‑fire and nuclear negotiations, with daily discussions involving Qatari and Pakistani mediators gaining momentum but described by officials as extremely sluggish. At the same time, President Donald Trump said the U.S. military carried out new limited strikes on Iran, targeting an Iranian air‑defence system; Iranian state media reported two explosions in the Suza area of Qeshm Island, a key oil‑shipping waterway, as Tehran’s leaders weigh the mediators’ proposals. U.S. officials note that most of Iran’s air‑defence systems were already destroyed or severely degraded during a June 2025 Israeli bombardment.
