Politico reported on Vance's possible involvement in direct negotiations with Iran.

US Vice President Jay Dee Vance may join direct talks with Tehran if existing contacts through intermediaries lead to this. This was reported by the Politico newspaper on April 6, citing sources.

"Vance is on standby, ready to enter into sensitive negotiations with Iran if informal talks lead to a face—to-face meeting with Iranian officials," the article says.

It is noted that the negotiations are currently being led by Stephen Witkoff, special envoy of US President Donald Trump, and Jared Kushner, son-in-law of the American leader.
