US Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized that President Donald Trump’s openness to meeting Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei does not reflect a consensus between the two parties, but rather falls within his efforts to resolve crises through direct communication.
Rubio explained that President Trump believes direct meetings with adversaries can be the most effective means of settling complex disputes, noting that this approach relies on personal diplomacy and direct negotiation rather than traditional channels alone.
He added that the readiness to meet does not signify a political agreement or a convergence of positions, but instead reflects a pragmatic vision for managing international crises.
Moreover, Rubio noted that he is fully confident that if Khamenei were to announce his desire to meet President Trump tomorrow, Trump would be ready to hold the meeting without hesitation, in a move that could represent a remarkable shift in the course of relations between Washington and Tehran.
This statement comes amid escalating regional tensions and anticipation of any diplomatic moves that might contribute to de-escalation.
