[British Media: Iran Prefers Negotiations with Vance, Accuses Kushner and Whitcroft of 'Betrayal'] Reported by Golden Finance, on March 25, according to the British Daily Telegraph, Iran has refused to negotiate with U.S. Middle East envoy Whitcroft and Trump's son-in-law Kushner, accusing them of 'betrayal.' Gulf sources stated that Iran will not sit down with Whitcroft and Kushner because Tehran was subjected to military strikes just hours after their February meeting. U.S. Vice President Vance has remained largely silent during this conflict. If negotiations are restarted later this week in Islamabad, Pakistan, Vance is seen as the preferred candidate for chief negotiator. 'Vance is the more favorable choice,' a Gulf source said when discussing Iran's stance. 'They don't want to work with Kushner and Whitcroft because they are untrustworthy.' Sources indicated that Iran believes Vance would honor commitments, and his involvement is viewed as an appropriate level for negotiations with Iranian Parliament Speaker Qalibaf. The Vice President may serve as the new leader of the U.S. negotiation team, signaling the White House's intent to avoid further economic losses and de-escalate tensions, although the strategy to end the war remains unclear.
