WASHINGTON — Iran would accept US President Donald Trump's offer to meet soon, the New York Times reported on Wednesday (June 18), citing a senior Iranian official.
The newspaper, citing the official, added that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi would accept such a meeting to discuss a cease-fire with Israel.
Trump, who has indicated he wants talks to focus on the Iranian nuclear programme, said on Monday that he might send US Middle East Envoy Steve Witkoff or Vice President JD Vance to meet Iranian officials.
