Iran Open to Talks with Trump if National Interests Align
Iran signals willingness for dialogue with the Trump administration, emphasizing the need for actions over words.
- Iranian government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani stated that Iran will pursue whatever secures its national interests and revolutionary values.
- Despite Iran's openness, there are no current plans from Trump or his team for direct talks as he prepares to return to the U.S. presidency.
- During his previous term, Trump withdrew the U.S. from the 2015 nuclear deal and reinstated sanctions, heavily impacting Iran's economy.
- Indirect negotiations to revive the nuclear agreement were attempted under President Biden but have since stalled.
- Iran remains part of the nuclear deal but has reduced its commitments due to the reinstated U.S. sanctions.
