Pezeshkian has instructed relevant authorities to begin talks with Washington, signaling a potential diplomatic opening between the two longtime adversaries.
Earlier on Monday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said Tehran is carefully reviewing the framework for any possible negotiations with the United States. He noted that Iran’s approach is centered on lifting sanctions and protecting national interests, while emphasizing that the process would proceed cautiously and with close attention to timing.
Separately, Tasnim cited a source as saying that talks between Iran and the United States, involving senior officials from both sides, could begin in the coming days. The source added that the exact time and location of the negotiations have not yet been finalized.
According to the report, the discussions are expected to take place at the level of Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff. Araghchi’s recent visit to Türkiye has fueled speculation about diplomatic preparations.
Meanwhile, U.S. media cited a source in the American administration as telling Axios on Sunday that President Donald Trump’s administration has signaled openness to holding talks with Iran as early as this week.
According to the Axios report, as quoted by Times of Israel, Türkiye, Egypt and Qatar are working to organize a meeting in the coming days in Ankara between Witkoff and Iranian officials.
