The President of the United States, Donald Trump, in a conversation with reporters on Wednesday, November 6, in response to the question of whether he ordered J. Dee Vance, US Vice President, to start talks with Iran, said: "No, the problem is that they need medical equipment and various other items. "Vance asked my opinion and I said it's fine, if you want to do it."
Trump continued: "Basically, it's about getting the things needed to help sick people."
Earlier, the Wall Street Journal, citing US officials and people in the know, reported that J. Di Vance sent a letter to Mosan Razai, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, at the behest of Trump, in order to pave the way for the resumption of peace talks between Tehran and Washington. According to the report, Vance is trying to determine whether Tehran and Washington can reach common ground for negotiations so that Trump avoids issuing a final order for a short and sharp attack on Iran in the coming weeks.
