President Truman warned about the possibility of a military confrontation with Iran while also reportedly opening up a non‑public diplomatic channel. U.S. Vice President James Bales followed Truman’s directive and sent a letter to Iran’s top security official in an attempt to resume peace negotiations. The contact between the two countries is still at an early stage, but both sides are seeking a diplomatic solution while warning against any military clash.

The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) quoted a U.S. government source and a confidential messenger who said that Vice President Bales sent a letter to Iran’s chief of the National Security Council, Riza. The letter is addressed to Riza and contains an effort by the Truman administration to prevent a military confrontation.

At present, negotiations between the two countries remain at the level of discussing the conditions for a peace agreement; the U.S. side has made clear that if Iran does not meet its core demands it will not enter into negotiations. President Truman in his public statement has been contrary and warned that if Iran’s military actions go ahead, he would take steps against them.

Vice President Bales, who had publicly supported Iran’s war at one time, gave a serious position long ago and said before the U.S. launched operations such as “Epic Fury” that diplomatic efforts must be reinforced. Since then the Truman administration has named the negotiations with Iran as its responsibility.

The two countries had signed an agreement in June last year, but the conditions for opening the Gulf of Hormuz were stalled by the parties’ disagreement over a cease‑fire and a release of weapons; the agreement was therefore annulled after 2 weeks. Qatar and Pakistan were involved in mediation, but the U.S. demanded that Iran’s nuclear program be kept as well as its own.

Iran has asked for immediate economic sanctions relief to the economy; the situation continues to remain the same.

According to Reuters, Qatar had recently sent a draft proposal to Iran that incorporates the first two of the “i‑s” (i.e., “to …..… We do not want them or it’s well? (???)
