Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian on Tuesday confirmed that he has ordered the start of talks with the United States, provided negotiations take place in an environment “free from threats and unreasonable expectations,” marking Tehran’s clearest signal yet of willingness to re-engage diplomatically with Washington amid heightened regional tensions.
“I have instructed my minister of foreign affairs, provided that a suitable environment exists — one free from threats and unreasonable expectations — to pursue fair and equitable negotiations,” Pezeshkian said in a post on X, adding that the move followed requests “from friendly governments”.
