Journalist: Did you order Mr. Vance to start negotiations with Iran to renew the peace talks? Trump: No. Iran needs help in supplying medical equipment. Basically, it is about providing the necessary equipment and materials to provide assistance to people who need it. Donald Trump, the President of the United States, responded to an article published in the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday, October 29, which reported that Vice President Vance sent a letter to Moussan Razai, the secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of the Islamic Republic of Iran, to resume peace talks. The article claims that the letter was sent at the behest of President Trump. On Wednesday evening, a reporter asked President Trump if he had directed Mr. Vance to open talks with Iran about resuming peace talks. President Trump responded: "No, what we're talking about is that they need help, including medical supplies and other necessary things." The US president added: "He asked my opinion and I said if he wants to do it, that's fine. Basically, the goal is to provide the necessary equipment and supplies to help people who are in poor physical condition." According to this article, Mr. Vance is trying to see if the Islamic Republic of Iran and Washington can find enough common ground to convince President Trump not to issue a final order for a short and decisive attack on the Islamic Republic in the coming weeks. This week, the US president called the temporary ceasefire with the Islamic Republic a "waste of time" and urged American voters to monitor the situation in Iran in the coming weeks. He has also stated in the past that it is necessary to completely and finally end the US relationship with Iran so that it can never obtain a nuclear weapon.
