The New York Times has reported that Iran may soon agree to enter into talks with the United States, following an offer extended by U.S. President Donald Trump.
The report, citing a senior Iranian Foreign Ministry official who spoke on condition of anonymity, stated that Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is likely to accept a meeting to discuss both a ceasefire with Israel and the future of Iran’s nuclear program.
This potential diplomatic opening comes amid heightened regional tensions and increased pressure on Iran’s nuclear ambitions. The official quoted by The New York Times did not specify the timeline or location of the proposed talks but indicated that the window for engagement may be narrowing.
On the same day, President Trump made remarks suggesting he has not ruled out military action against Iran, stating, “I may do it, I may not do it. I mean nobody knows what I’m going to do.” His ambiguous comments reflect a continued policy of strategic unpredictability, aimed at leveraging pressure on Tehran.
Separately, ABC News reported that U.S. officials believe a high-level meeting between Iranian representatives and Trump’s administration could take place as early as this week, provided Iran agrees to abandon its uranium enrichment activities.
The prospective American delegation could be led by Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff or Vice President JD Vance, according to sources familiar with the matter.
While no official confirmation has been issued by Tehran or Washington, these developments signal a potential shift toward diplomacy in a period marked by escalating military threats and nuclear concerns.
