The WSJ reported on Vance's call for Trump to engage in dialogue with Iran
US Vice President Jay Dee Vance called on US President Donald Trump to start a dialogue with Iran before launching strikes. This was reported on January 12 by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), citing sources.
"Some senior administration aides, led by Vice President J. D. Vance, are urging Trump to try diplomacy," the publication said.
Despite this, Trump, according to the newspaper, is considering military strikes against Iran.
White House spokeswoman Caroline Leavitt said on January 12 that President Trump would not be afraid to use American military force against Iran if circumstances required it. She confirmed that one of the representatives of the Iranian government contacted the special envoy of the American leader, Steven Witkoff, and expressed a position significantly different in tone from Tehran's public statements.
On the same day, it became known that the United States considers cyber attacks and attacks on Iran's internal security apparatus as the most likely options for influencing Iran. It is noted that the US Department of War (Pentagon) also proposes to influence Tehran by manipulating Iran's nuclear program, as well as hitting ballistic missile targets.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi also said that the Israeli and US authorities are trying to use the unrest in Iran for their own purposes in order to achieve through destabilization what they could not do through military action. The minister stressed that Tehran will not allow terrorist groups, which are supported from the outside, to continue their activities.
Prior to this, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian called on Iranians to express disagreement with opponents of government policy. He noted that instigators can destroy the entire society.
