US envoy Witkoff says if Iran signals change, diplomatic solution possible

"The President has indicated that there have been some discussions, and that's what resulted in the Iranian statement that the killings will stop," US special envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff told Bloomberg in Davos, Switzerland on Wednesday.

"There's been a lot of killings, and that's terribly unfortunate and horrific," he added. "These people were defenseless. They were just coming out into the street saying, we want to change. You shouldn't be killed for for expressing a viewpoint that you want changes."

"So Iran, Iran needs to change its ways," Witkoff said. "They need to do that. And if they do, if they indicate that they're willing to do that, I think we can diplomatically settle this."
