Now Trump is ready to talk with Iran without “pre-conditions”

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]US President Donlad Trump has said on Monday he would be willing to meet Iran’s leader “without preconditions” to discuss how to improve ties. However, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, within hours, set conditions before any dialogue with Iran.

According to Reuters, while addressing media persons in White House on Monday along with Italian PM Giuseppe Conte, Trump said, “If they want to meet, we’ll meet.” He further said, “I’d meet anybody. I believe in meetings, especially in cases where war is at stake.” He was responding to a question if he was willing to meet with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.

Observers believe that Trump has lately realized his mistakes by threatening Iran. On Tuesday last, while addressing Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) national convention in Missouri, Trump was quoted saying, “Iran is not the same country anymore, that I can say” and expressed his readiness to make a “real deal” with the country over its nuclear program.

Trump’s statement came after Iran’s tit-for-tat reactions and “mother of all wars” remarks from President Hassan Rouhani.

Trump claimed, “I do believe that they will probably end up wanting to meet. And I am ready to meet any time they want to. And I don’t do that from strength or from weakness. I think it’s an appropriate thing to do.”

“It’s good for the country, good for them, good for us and good for the world. No preconditions. If they want to meet, I’ll meet,” said the US president.

Responding to US President’s  statement Iranian President’s Hassan Rouhani’s advisor Hamid Aboutalebi said on Tuesday that any talks with the Washington  had to start with reducing hostility and a return to the nuclear deal.

“Respect for the great nation of Iran, reduction in hostilities, US returning to the nuclear deal… That will open the rocky path of the moment,” wrote Hamid Aboutalebi in Persian language on Twitter.

In May this year, Pompoe had set twelve conditions for talks with Iran, which were out rightly dismissed by Tehran.

Press TV says that Trump’s latest stance towards Tehran runs counter to his recent threats against Iran and pulling Washington out of multilateral 2015 nuclear deal, known as JCPOA “despite having the support of almost all US allies”.

Earlier in May this year, President Donald Trump had pulled out US from multilateral Iran-nuclear deal, signed by five permanent members of UNSC plus Germany known as P5+1 and announced to re-impose full sanctions against Tehran in two stages in August and November this year.

Earlier last week, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, while addressing Islamic Republic Guards Corps (IRGC) in Tehran, said that “Trump should learn well that peace with Iran is the mother of all peace and war with Iran is mother of all wars.”

On 22 July, Donald Trump, was very aggressive while responding to Rouhani’s remarks.[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]On July 23, Iran’s foreign minister Javad Zarif posted a response on his twitter account.[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Khamenei warns US against deceitful actions as Trump announces 25% tariff threat

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has warned the United States against “deceitful actions” after Donald Trump announced a 25% tariff threat, as protests continue to challenge Iran’s leadership.

Published

khamenei

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has warned the United States to stop what he described as “deceitful actions” and reliance on “traitorous hirelings,” responding to escalating pressure from US President Donald Trump, including a proposed 25 per cent tariff on countries trading with Iran.

In a post on X, Khamenei said the Iranian nation had demonstrated its resolve in the face of external pressure and issued a warning to American politicians. He asserted that Iran remained strong, aware of its adversaries, and firmly present on the political stage.

Protests pose major challenge to Iran’s leadership

Khamenei’s remarks come amid more than two weeks of nationwide demonstrations that began over economic grievances and have since grown into one of the most serious challenges to Iran’s theocratic system since the 1979 Islamic revolution.

Rights groups have claimed that at least 646 people have been killed during the protests, which have spread across several cities. The unrest has intensified international scrutiny of Tehran’s response and further strained relations with Washington.

Trump signals economic and military options

President Trump has repeatedly warned Iran over its handling of the protests, stating that the United States was prepared to act if demonstrators were killed. He has said possible US responses range from low-risk to high-risk options, depending on the ultimate objective.

While Trump has previously criticised “regime change” as a foreign policy goal, citing past US involvement in Iraq, he has continued to apply economic pressure on Tehran. On Monday, he announced a 25 per cent tariff on countries that trade with Iran, marking a significant escalation in sanctions-linked measures.

Trump has also spoken about efforts to restore internet access in Iran after authorities imposed shutdowns during the protests.

Limited communication revealed

Despite the sharp public rhetoric, both governments have acknowledged that some level of communication has taken place. These contacts were reportedly coordinated through Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff.

Iran and the United States have remained adversaries since the 1979 revolution that overthrew the pro-Western shah. Any major shift in Iran’s political system would have far-reaching consequences for the Middle East, making the current standoff closely watched across the region.

The US has described India as its most essential global partner, with ambassador-designate Sergio Gor indicating a possible visit by President Donald Trump next year.

The United States has said that no country is more essential to its global interests than India, with US ambassador-designate Sergio Gor indicating that President Donald Trump may visit India within the next year or two.

Speaking at the US Embassy in New Delhi, Gor highlighted the close personal rapport between Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, describing their relationship as genuine and resilient even in times of disagreement.

India-US ties anchored at the highest level

Gor said the partnership between India and the United States is rooted not only in shared strategic interests but also in strong leadership-level engagement.

He noted that while differences may arise between the two countries, they are resolved through dialogue, reflecting the maturity of the relationship. According to him, India’s scale and global standing make bilateral cooperation both complex and crucial.

Trade talks to resume from January 12

The ambassador-designate confirmed that the next round of India-US trade negotiations will begin on Tuesday, January 12. Acknowledging the challenges involved, Gor said both sides remain committed to reaching an agreement.

Trade, he said, is a vital pillar of bilateral ties, alongside cooperation in areas such as security, counter-terrorism, energy, technology, education and health.

Trump-Modi friendship described as ‘real’

Gor reiterated that he has personally witnessed the bond between Trump and Modi during international engagements, stressing that the friendship goes beyond diplomacy.

Recalling conversations with the US President, he said Trump often speaks positively about his previous India visit and his relationship with the Indian Prime Minister.

Possible Trump visit to India

Indicating a potential presidential visit, Gor said Trump could travel to India in the next one or two years. He described his own appointment as an effort to elevate the bilateral partnership to a new level, calling the India-US relationship a meeting point of the world’s oldest and largest democracies.

India to join Pax Silica alliance

Gor also announced that India will be invited to join the US-led Pax Silica alliance as a full member next month.

The initiative aims to develop a secure, resilient and innovation-driven global silicon supply chain, reinforcing India’s role in strategic technology partnerships.

Trump says Iran wants talks amid protests, warns US may act before meeting

Donald Trump claims Iran’s leadership wants negotiations amid mass protests, but says the US may take action before any talks are held.

Published

on

US President Donald Trump has claimed that Iran’s leadership has reached out to his administration seeking negotiations, even as large-scale anti-government protests continue across the country and Washington signals possible military action.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said Iranian leaders had contacted him after his recent warnings. “The leaders of Iran called yesterday,” he said, adding that a meeting was being planned. However, he cautioned that the United States “may have to act before a meeting.”

The remarks come amid reports of deaths during protests in several Iranian cities. Trump accused Iran’s rulers of maintaining control through force, saying there were indications that people had been killed who “aren’t supposed to be killed.”

He said the US military was closely monitoring developments and that senior officials were reviewing what he described as “very strong options.” Trump said he was receiving hourly briefings on the situation and that a decision would be made after assessing all factors.

When asked if Iran had crossed a red line, Trump declined to provide operational details, saying he would not disclose how or where the US might act. “We’re gonna make a determination,” he said.

Addressing reports of fatalities among protesters, Trump suggested that some deaths occurred due to crowd stampedes, while others involved gunfire. He did not provide specific figures or details.

Trump also issued a strong warning against any retaliation by Iran or its allied groups. He said any such response would be met with unprecedented force, stating that the US would strike “at levels that they’ve never been hit before.”

The US President said Iran should already be aware of Washington’s resolve, referring to previous American actions against high-profile militant leaders and what he described as the elimination of Iran’s nuclear threat.

Trump did not clarify whether the US had coordinated with allies on a potential response or outline a timeline for further action.

Iran has witnessed repeated waves of unrest in recent weeks, with thousands of people participating in protests against the current regime in cities across the country.
