Iran: Rezaei says he has not replied to Vance's letter

Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, says he has read a letter from US Vice President JD Vance but has not replied. Accounts published on November 1, 2026 attribute to him a positive assessment of a change in US tone, without any agreement announced.

According to Al Jazeera, Rezaei maintains that opening the Strait of Hormuz depends on meeting Iran's conditions. Iranian radio also reports that the letter remains unanswered.

The scope of the correspondence remains disputed: Al Jazeera reports that Donald Trump publicly limited Vance's role to assistance involving medical supplies. These statements do not establish an agreement on negotiations or reopening the strait.
