Top Iranian official advocates for direct talks with the US

Ali Abdolalizadeh, the head of Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian's election campaign and the president's representative in maritime economy, has called for direct talks with the United States.

In a recent meeting, Abdolalizadeh recounted being asked by a reporter during Iranian presidential campaign in June last year about the repercussions of potential presidency of Donald Trump. He responded that Iran is open to negotiations and dialogue, stressing that issues cannot be left unresolved.

He highlighted the necessity of “direct, honorable, and man-to-man” conversations to defend national interests, rather than relying on intermediaries.
