Iran Confirms It Got Vance’s Letter, but Hasn’t Replied

Iran has received a letter from U.S. Vice President JD Vance but has not responded, Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency said Thursday, adding that Tehran still insists on its seven conditions. The Wall Street Journal first reported that Vance wrote to Mohsen Rezaei, head of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, to try to restart peace talks. A U.S. official told Axios the letter said any talks “require discussions on the nuclear issue.” The letter has not been published.
