In a notable shift, Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has agreed to explore the possibility of nuclear negotiations with the United States. This decision comes after pressure from top Iranian officials who highlighted the severe economic turmoil facing the nation and the imminent risk of military conflict.
During a highly confidential meeting, senior members of the Iranian government emphasized the necessity of engaging in talks with Washington. Citing a crumbling economy, soaring inflation, and critical resource shortages, they conveyed that a refusal to negotiate could result in the downfall of the Islamic Republic’s leadership. Officials indicated that further failure to engage could lead to strikes against Iran's main nuclear facilities, motivating the need for diplomacy.

They urged Khamenei to consider moving toward a more diplomatic stance in light of the escalating tensions with both the United States and Israel, marking a pivotal moment for Iranian foreign policy.
