Vice President JD Vance sent a letter to Iran regarding medical supplies, confirmed by President Donald Trump. The communication came amid ongoing tensions between the US and Iran. Trump has criticized Iran for stalled nuclear negotiations, which have been affected by the war that began on 28 February 2026.
