Iran and the United States have opened the door to dialogue, even after Tehran responded to threats of military action by Donald Trump by warning that it is “ready for war”.
The US president said Washington officials may meet with their Iranian counterparts, as he continued piling pressure on the regime to call off its repressive response to the protests taking place in Iran. Rights group Iran Human Rights says at least 600 people have been killed since the demonstrations began just over a fortnight ago.
