U.S. President Donald Trump has indicated that Washington remains open to negotiations with Iran, but claimed that recent military strikes have left “no one to talk to” within the country’s leadership structure.
Trump argued that Iran’s military and command systems have been significantly weakened, suggesting that the strikes disrupted key decision-making channels. He emphasized that preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons remains a central priority for the United States.
The remarks come at a time of heightened tensions between the two countries, with diplomatic prospects appearing uncertain despite signals of willingness to engage.
Analysts note that while the U.S. position suggests openness to dialogue, the assertion of weakened leadership in Iran raises questions about who would represent Tehran in any potential negotiations, potentially complicating efforts toward de-escalation.
