Iran says US tone has ‘changed’ as Washington seeks negotiations

Iran says the United States’ tone has “completely changed” as Washington seeks to restart negotiations with the Islamic Republic. Mohsen Rezaei, head of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, said on television that he had read a letter sent in recent days by US Vice President JD Vance but had not yet replied. Rezaei called the change a “good sign” and evidence that Iran had “consolidated its victory,” without discussing the letter’s contents. Indirect mediation through Qatar is continuing, although Iranian officials said on Saturday that they had no plans to meet US officials.
