The US Vice President says Washington and Tehran have agreed to set up a direct channel with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to reduce the risk of further conflict.
– In an interview with the British right-wing news site UnHerd, JD Vance said the arrangement would involve Iranian and US military officials meeting in Doha to work through disputes.
– “They were like, ‘OK, fine, we’ll send somebody from the IRGC to go hang out in Doha with somebody from [U.S. Central Command]’ and that’s how we’re going to settle a lot of these disputes”, Vance described discussions with Iranian officials.
– Vance also said that the United Arab Emirates had opened channels with Iran that had not existed before, including with the IRGC.
– He said the UAE is “having conversations with the Iranians that have never happened before, including with the IRGC, about various types of economic incentives”.
