Trump 'Would Like' to Meet Iran Supreme Leader, Says Khamenei Is 'Involved' in Talks
Trump said Khamenei is involved in talks and that Iran has already agreed not to pursue nuclear weapons, according to the podcast interview.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump told the New York Post's "Pod Force One" podcast that he is "involved, absolutely" with Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei, signaling openness to direct engagement amid escalating regional tensions.
- Reciprocal strikes on Tuesday strained the ongoing ceasefire, with U.S. Central Command forces hitting Qeshm Island after Iranian attacks on Kuwait, Bahrain, and "civilian marines." The back-and-forth represents the latest fraying of the April 7 truce.
- During the podcast, Trump asserted that Iran has "already agreed they're not going to have a nuclear weapon" and that Khamenei remains involved in decision-making despite his prolonged public absence since February 28.
- Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned Wednesday that any "hostile" act by the U.S. would face a decisive response, while Trump admitted calling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "f---ing crazy" over planned Beirut attacks.
- Khamenei's prolonged public absence since February 28 complicates potential diplomatic efforts, though Trump stated it is "unlikely" the blockade on the Strait of Hormuz will persist by Labor Day.
