U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance is reportedly set to meet directly with representatives of Iran's Supreme Leader in Qatar, a move that appears to signal a significant shift in the Trump administration's stance on potential conflict with Iran. Senior regional officials, including Turkey's intelligence chief, have indicated that the meeting is planned. Vance, who has reportedly expressed quiet opposition to war and worked behind the scenes to thwart its continuation, is leading this initiative with President Trump's approval.
The development follows a conversation between Trump and the Prime Minister of Qatar, during which they discussed the possibility of opening the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for the unfreezing of $8 billion in Iranian assets. The meeting is expected to take place in Qatar's capital. Rezai is personally sought by the international community due to his alleged responsibility for numerous attacks, including the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish community building in Buenos Aires, which resulted in 85 deaths and many injuries.
