Iran signaled that he was open to talking about his nuclear program with the United States if they were limited to military care, the day after it seemed that the Supreme Leader of the Land had rejected the overture from President Trump to keep discussions.
“If the goal of negotiations is to solve problems over any potential militarization of the Iranian nuclear program, such discussions could be subjected to consideration,” Iranian mission to the United Nations said in the post on social networks on Sunday.
It was unclear whether the comments represented a shift in politics after Ajatollah Ali Khamenei, the Iranian supreme leader who finally had authority in such questions, announced an angry statement after Mr. Trump’s offer last week to restart conversations.
On Saturday in a post on social networks, Mr. Khamenei rejected “Essential Governments” that seek to impose restrictions on Iran. The remarks did not directly relate to Mr. Trump or his offer.
