A well-placed source told Reuters on Wednesday that US Vice President J.D. Vance is holding talks with 'mediators' regarding the conflict with Iran, with the latest such conversation taking place on Tuesday. The source added that President Donald Trump has tasked Vance to clarify in private talks that he is ready to agree to a ceasefire, provided certain American demands are met, including the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The source further stated that Vance sent a 'firm' message, indicating that Trump is running out of patience and warned of increasing pressure on Iranian infrastructure unless the Iranians agree to a deal.
