Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has firmly rejected U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal for a meeting with Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, asserting that such suggestions must be grounded in reality. Trump, who indicated he would be 'honored' to meet Khamenei if it could lead to a deal, acknowledged their complicated relationship but expressed a willingness to engage respectfully. Despite these overtures, Araghchi noted that there has been 'no tangible progress' in negotiations, although communication continues through mediators. The backdrop of rising oil prices, exacerbated by military actions against Iran, has added to the complexities of the situation, with Trump downplaying fears of economic repercussions. Iranian officials remain confident in their ability to withstand external pressures, betting on potential shifts in U.S. public opinion ahead of the congressional elections, which could influence Trump's approach to Iran.
