Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf posted on X, indirectly responding to a letter from U.S. Vice President JD Vance to Mohsen Rezaee, a leader of Iran's Supreme National Security Council. Ghalibaf reiterated that Iran has made its seven conditions clear to the mediating parties and will not abandon them, stating that the "carrot and stick" policy has no effect on Iran. Al Jazeera, citing security sources, reported that the Iranian government does not intend to disclose the contents of the letter, as this is customary practice, and that such secret communications between the U.S. and Iran are not unprecedented. It is speculated that the U.S. side may have proposed in the letter that, in exchange for some behind-the-scenes conditions, Iran would agree to transfer uranium to Russia and relinquish control over the Strait of Hormuz.
