Trump Prefers Deal With Iran, Open to Meeting Khamenei: Rubio
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said that President Donald Trump prefers reaching an agreement with Iran and would be prepared to meet Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, if such a meeting were sought.
Speaking in an interview on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference, Rubio said President Trump is willing to meet anyone, as he believes global challenges can only be resolved through dialogue.
Rubio stated that if Ayatollah Khamenei were to request a meeting with President Trump even immediately, such an engagement could take place. He clarified that this would not imply agreement with the Iranian leader’s positions, but rather reflect Trump’s belief that issues are addressed through direct talks.
Commenting on the decision to deploy a second aircraft carrier to the Middle East, Rubio described the move as a precautionary step aimed at ensuring that Iran does not take any action that could trigger a wider conflict.
