Talks with the U.S. should be pursued to secure national interests as long as "threats and unreasonable expectations" are avoided, President Masoud Pezeshkian posted on X on Tuesday.
"Taking into account demands from friendly regional countries to respond to the U.S. President's suggestion for talks, I instructed the foreign minister to prepare the ground for equitable and fair negotiations ... should an atmosphere free of threats and unreasonable expectations arise," Pezeshkian said.
The Iranian regime is alarmed by the prospect of a U.S. military strike. This fear explains why Tehran has suddenly signaled a willingness to engage in talks.
However, there is no guarantee that dialogue will produce tangible results. The ruling clerics show no sign of abandoning their nuclear ambitions, missile program, or their efforts to destabilize the Middle East through proxy groups such as Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Hamas—organizations designated as terrorist groups that continue to threaten regional stability.
For years, Hezbollah has sought to portray itself as a Lebanese “resistance” movement with domestic political legitimacy. But recent events suggest that distinction is increasingly difficult to sustain.
A grandson of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the late founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, is likely to figure prominently in the deliberations of the clerics who will determine who replaces Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as Supreme Leader.
