A senior official in Iran’s Foreign Ministry has signaled Tehran’s willingness to engage in direct talks with the United States, reportedly expressing openness to a meeting with former President Donald Trump.
According to a report by The New York Times, the official—who requested anonymity due to lack of authorization to speak publicly—stated that Iran would accept Trump’s offer to meet “soon.”
The revelation marks a potential diplomatic shift amid escalating tensions in the region, particularly surrounding Iran’s nuclear program and recent military developments.
While no official statement has been issued by Iran’s government, the remarks suggest that Tehran may be exploring a political off-ramp to ease hostilities, possibly through renewed dialogue with Washington.
