JD Vance letter may offer last chance to avert fresh conflict between US and Iran

US Vice-President JD Vance has written a letter to Iran's top security official, Mohsen Rezaei, in a bid to restart diplomacy between the two countries. This move suggests that Washington has not given up on diplomatic efforts to avoid a potential conflict. The letter may be a last chance to avert a major escalation, particularly in the aftermath of the US midterm elections. If Iran responds positively, it could pave the way for a renewed dialogue on its nuclear programme, potentially reducing tensions between the two nations.
