U.S. Vice President JD Vance is weighing direct, face-to-face talks with a senior Iranian security official after being installed as the administration's lead negotiator with Tehran, according to WSJ reporting cited by First Squawk. The shift is aimed at halting a conflict that U.S. and Middle East officials see as a political drag on the Republican Party. No dates, venue or delegation size were disclosed, and the specific Iranian counterpart was not named. The move matters because it concentrates Iran diplomacy in the Vice President's office and signals a possible pivot from indirect messaging to direct engagement. What to watch next is whether a meeting is confirmed and whether it produces a ceasefire framework or merely a channel for continued talks.
