Trump 'would like to meet' Iran leader Khamenei 'at some point'

President Donald Trump said he would like to meet Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei "at some point," as tensions between Washington and Tehran remain high. The U.S. president's remarks came as both nations continue to trade accusations over alleged breaches of the 2015 nuclear deal.

Trump indicated that he would be willing to meet Khamenei without any preconditions. "I think he'd like to meet. I think Iran would like to meet. I think somebody should meet," Trump told reporters at the White House on Wednesday.

This statement follows a period of heightened rhetoric between the two countries. The U.S. has accused Iran of violating the terms of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), while Iran has accused the U.S. of failing to uphold its commitments under the agreement. The prospect of a direct meeting between the leaders could signal a potential de-escalation, though no concrete plans have been announced.
