Khamenei Grants Negotiating Powers Amid Regional Warnings to Iran
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian announced that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has granted the government specific authority to pursue diplomatic talks with the United States. Despite this, negotiations mediated by Qatar remain stalled over which side should make the first concessions. Simultaneously, Arab nations have issued a stern warning to Tehran, indicating they may take collective or individual action if Iran targets their critical infrastructure. Meanwhile, Iran continues to push for a seven-step plan to end hostilities, though key demands regarding uranium stockpiles remain non-negotiable.
