deccanchronicle.comPresident Trump said he would be "honored" to meet Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei if the meeting produced a deal. The statement marks the first time a sitting U.S. president has publicly expressed openness to a direct meeting with an Iranian supreme leader.
The comments follow months of indirect diplomatic contacts between the two governments. Mojtaba Khamenei is still recovering from injuries sustained in a U.S.-Israeli bombing that killed his father, wife and child.
Iranian officials have not issued a public response to the remarks. U.S. officials have not confirmed whether any preparatory steps are under way.
