Asharq News: Vance explores talks with Rezaei; no meeting date set.

Asharq News, citing Wall Street Journal reporting and people familiar with the discussions, says Donald Trump authorized renewed diplomatic efforts involving JD Vance after Vance sent Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, a message in October requesting a meeting. No date has been set for a direct meeting, and discussions remain preliminary; the two countries continue communicating through intermediaries and allies. Doha is a possible venue only if both sides agree to meet. Saudi Arabia’s stated policy is to reduce escalation and encourage dialogue and diplomatic solutions. In a statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency on Oct. 26, the Foreign Ministry supported mediation by Qatar and Pakistan and called for negotiation channels to prevent renewed military escalation. This general position does not endorse Vance’s proposal or its terms.
