Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has agreed to negotiate with the United States and reach an agreement, suggesting a potential diplomatic opening amid ongoing hostilities, a report by Al Arabiya, citing Israeli media, has claimed.

The report comes as US President Donald Trump said there have been talks between Washington and Tehran over the past day that produced what he described as “major points of agreement".

Speaking to reporters on Monday, Trump said discussions had taken place on Sunday and were expected to continue, raising the prospect that a deal could be reached soon to settle the war.

Trump said his Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law and close aide, Jared Kushner, were involved in the talks with Iranian representatives.
