Iran Has Received Vance's Letter but Not Yet Replied, Insisting on Its Seven Conditions

Tasnim reported on Thursday, October 29, 2026 (7 Aban 1405) that US Vice President JD Vance has written to the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council; Iran has received the letter but has not replied for now. According to Tasnim, Tehran stresses that the United States must carry out Iran's seven conditions and will not accept any position that undermines that framework.

Al Jazeera's correspondent also wrote that a source confirmed Vance sent a message to a senior Iranian official, most likely the council's secretary, and that Iran has not yet replied; the source called speculation about the message's contents baseless. The letter's text has not been officially released. For markets, the absence of a reply means continued uncertainty over the talks, which has been weighing on the dollar, gold and oil in recent days.
