Iran received a message from US President-elect Donald Trump through Oman proposing high-level talks on issues including the nuclear file, the Iraqi newspaper Baghdad Alyoum reported Sunday, citing a source close to Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian’s administration.
“Trump’s message expressed his readiness to negotiate with Tehran and the possibility of reaching a new nuclear agreement, different from the one reached in 2015, which he withdrew from in 2018,” the source was quoted as saying.
The Iranian source added that "Trump will not wait more than a few months to receive a response from Iranian officials regarding their willingness to negotiate on a range of issues, with the nuclear file being the most prominent."
Earlier, Iranian diplomat Seyyed Hossein Mousavian in an article in Iran Newspaper, said that Trump is expected to propose direct and high-level talks with Iran shortly after taking office.
In the article, Mousavian added that while an agreement might be possible if negotiations begin, there are no guarantees that the US would adhere to it, even if successful.
