Iran's Khamenei Signals Cautious Openness to Negotiations with Trump, Green Lights Pezeshkian
Jan 28, 2025, 11:32 AM
Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has indicated a cautious openness to negotiations with the United States, particularly with the administration of President Donald Trump. In a speech on Tuesday, January 28, 2025, Khamenei emphasized the need for vigilance in diplomatic dealings, stating that 'behind diplomatic smiles, there lies hidden enmities and grudges.' He urged Iranian officials to 'open their eyes and remain vigilant about whom they are dealing with, negotiating with, and talking to.' This statement suggests a nuanced approach to potential negotiations, acknowledging the possibility of dialogue while highlighting underlying distrust. Khamenei's comments were made during a meeting with officials from the Islamic Republic, signaling a strategic consideration of engagement with the U.S. amidst ongoing tensions. Additionally, Khamenei has given a green light to President Pezeshkian for negotiations and a potential deal with Trump.
