Jakarta, ThedailyID — Donald Trump has expressed openness to meeting Iranian leaders if ongoing negotiations between the United States and Iran show progress. The statement emerged amid renewed diplomatic efforts between the two countries.
Trump indicated that a direct meeting could happen if discussions continue in a positive direction. He suggested that dialogue remains a key option to resolve tensions, despite years of strained relations.
According to multiple reports, U.S. officials have already engaged in talks with senior figures in Iran. These discussions aim to explore possible agreements, including efforts to ease geopolitical tensions.
Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that Washington remains open to direct engagement. He emphasized that Trump is willing to meet any leader if it helps reach a resolution.
“Talks are ongoing, and there is potential for direct meetings at some point,” Rubio said, highlighting the administration’s diplomatic approach.
However, the situation remains uncertain. Iran has previously denied some claims of negotiations and maintained a firm stance on its sovereignty and political position.
Tensions between the two nations have fluctuated in recent months, with both diplomatic signals and strong rhetoric emerging. Trump has alternated between pushing for negotiations and issuing warnings if agreements fail.
Despite these challenges, analysts say a direct meeting could mark a significant shift in U.S.-Iran relations. Such a move may open pathways for broader agreements on security, trade, and regional stability.
For now, both sides continue to test diplomatic channels. The possibility of a high-level meeting will likely depend on whether negotiations can produce tangible progress.
