Trump denied media reports that he directed Vance to resume peace talks with Iran. According to the US president, the vice president's initiative was solely to arrange the shipment of medicine to help sick people in the country. Earlier, the Wall Street Journal reported that Vance secretly sent a letter to the head of Iran's National Security Council, Mohsen Razai, in an attempt to restart negotiations and prevent large-scale military strikes against the Islamic Republic after November's congressional elections.
