Trump Reveals Iran's Interest in Negotiations Amid Ongoing Protests

Iran's Outreach to the US

Dubai: President Donald Trump announced that Iran has initiated contact with the United States, expressing a desire to engage in negotiations following his threats of action in light of the ongoing crackdown on demonstrators in the nation.

While speaking to reporters on Air Force One, Trump mentioned that discussions were underway to arrange a meeting with Tehran. However, he warned that he might need to take action first, as reports indicate a rising death toll in Iran and the government continues to detain protesters.

"I believe they are weary of being pressured by the United States," Trump stated, adding, "Iran is eager to negotiate."

According to activists, the violent suppression of protests in Iran has resulted in at least 544 fatalities, with fears that the number could be even higher.
