Iran security official says no meeting held with US Vice President JD Vance

A senior Iranian security official has said that no meeting took place between Iran's top security official and US Vice President JD Vance, according to a report by Mehr News. The statement was made in response to questions about the current state of contact between the two sides.

The official addressed the recent positions taken by the US president, saying there was no need for the American president to hear from the American people that they oppose a war with Iran and do not want their country to go to war in support of the Zionist regime. He said the US president should have understood much earlier that he has not achieved and will not achieve any of his goals in a war with Iran.

The official added that it will not take a long period before the US president realizes that he has also taken the wrong path regarding sanctions and economic pressure. He stated that the conflict with Iran will not be resolved through military means, nor by intensifying sanctions. In his view, the only solution is to adopt a tone of respect, engage in diplomacy, and address Iran's demands and conditions, which he said were outlined in a two-day proposal and remain on the table.

He emphasized that neither military action nor sanctions can end the war, and that the solution lies in diplomacy and compliance with Iran's conditions. The remarks come amid ongoing public discussion of US policy toward Iran and the prospects for diplomatic engagement.

According to Mehr News, the official's comments were made in response to a question about Iran's assessment of the recent positions of the US president and whether Washington's statements could be considered a sign of a change in its approach to current developments and the path of diplomacy.
