US VP Vance/Pence Initiates Direct Contact with Iran's Rezaei Amid Tensions

US Vice President JD Vance (also referred to as Pence) has initiated direct communication with Iranian security official Mohsen Rezaei via letter. While Iran confirms receipt, the US President Trump has clarified the contact was for 'assistance' or 'medical aid,' not peace talks, contradicting some initial reports of broader diplomatic engagement. The precise content and Iran's response remain unconfirmed, indicating a limited, potentially back-channel, communication channel.
