Iran Dismisses Prospects of Trump-Khamenei Meeting Amid Trust Issues

A senior adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader has ruled out a meeting with US President Trump, citing a lack of trust and stalled negotiations. Mohsen Rezaei emphasized the need for the US to release $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets as a crucial step towards rebuilding trust. He also called for an end to the naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, warning that failure to progress in talks could lead to an escalation of conflict. Rezaei urged Trump to act independently of Israeli influence and prioritize American interests to resolve ongoing disputes. This situation highlights the complexities of US-Iran relations and the challenges ahead.
