Trump describes Vance medical-supplies outreach without announcing a peace deal

In remarks reported on 28–29 October 2026, Donald Trump said he had authorised JD Vance to approach Iran about medical supplies.

The US president disputed characterising the outreach as an instruction to restart peace negotiations. Axios separately described a letter also addressing the nuclear issue; that description of its contents remains attributed to the outlet.

On the Iranian side, Araghchi said contacts continued over the seven-day plan. These exchanges indicated active communications channels without establishing a new truce, actual medical deliveries or normal reopening of Hormuz.
