Will the U.S. Engage in Talks with Iran as Pezeshkian Heads to New York—And Meet Trump?
Rokna Political Desk: On the eve of President Masoud Pezeshkian’s trip to New York to deliver a speech at the United Nations General Assembly, calls have emerged for negotiations with senior officials, including former U.S. President Donald Trump. However, Washington has yet to show any willingness to engage in dialogue with Tehran, and mediation efforts have so far failed.
Ahead of Pezeshkian’s visit, some reformist figures have urged the president to travel to New York with “full authority” to hold talks with “senior American and European officials.”
According to Rokna, their intended counterpart is, in fact, only one individual: Donald Trump, the President of the United States.
Yet, this proposal comes at a time when, despite attempts by intermediaries, the U.S. has shown no interest in negotiations with Iran and has not even responded to mediators. While talks with Washington may not in principle be objectionable, the core issue is that the American side is currently unwilling to enter into dialogue with Tehran.
Such “romantic ideas” in foreign policy, particularly only a few months after the joint U.S.-Israeli military strike on Iranian soil, have been described as a trap set by some pro-government factions before the president.
