Confirmed · Tehran, Iran ·
Multiple outlets report, citing the Wall Street Journal and US officials, that US Vice President JD Vance sent a letter to Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, to revive peace talks. An Iranian senior security source says Tehran has received the letter but has not yet responded, and that media reports on its content are inaccurate. Axios reports the letter said negotiations would require discussions on the nuclear issue, and Trump says the outreach concerned medical supplies.

Details by origin
Each detail, with the independent origins that reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. A row counts no more independent origins than the event does above; where it lists more, it says so. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
