Donald Trump, the President of the United States of America, denied the reports of his order to J. Dee Vance, the vice president, to begin peace talks with the Islamic Republic. Trump told reporters that Vance's relationship with the authorities of the Islamic Republic involved the supply of medical equipment. He added that Iran needs help in supplying medical equipment and this call was made with the aim of providing equipment to people who are not in good condition. The Wall Street Journal previously reported, citing U.S. officials and people familiar with the matter, that Vance had sent a letter to Mosen Razai, the secretary of the Islamic Republic's Supreme National Security Council, in an effort to revive peace talks at Trump's behest.
