The Iranian Foreign Minister secretly informed Steve Witkoff that Mojtaba Khamenei is willing to negotiate with the USA.

The Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, secretly informed the U.S. envoy, Steve Witkoff, that the Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has approved discussions for a potential peace agreement. This decision came after Khamenei took over leadership following the killing of his father, Ali Khamenei, during the recent conflict between the U.S. and Israel against Iran.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced a five-day delay of military attacks against Iranian energy infrastructure, mentioning that negotiations are taking place with a 'high-ranking person', but not with the Supreme Leader. Trump expressed optimism that an agreement could be reached within five days or less, emphasizing that Iran also desires a quick resolution to the conflict.
