The revelation that Mojtaba Khamenei may be involved in ongoing US-Iran negotiations was made by Donald Trump during an interview on the New York Post’s Pod Force One podcast.

During the interview, Trump also stated that Tehran has agreed not to pursue the development of nuclear weapons and left open the possibility of meeting Iran’s next supreme leader in the future.

“Iran has already agreed that it will not acquire nuclear weapons. It may change its mind, but that was the most important thing,” the US president said.

Trump’s remarks come amid continued diplomatic efforts aimed at easing tensions between Washington and Tehran and reviving discussions over Iran’s nuclear program. While he provided no further details regarding Mojtaba Khamenei’s alleged role in the talks, the comments are likely to fuel speculation about his growing influence within Iran’s political and religious establishment.

The possibility of future engagement between the United States and Iran’s leadership could represent a significant development in bilateral relations, although no official plans for such a meeting have been announced.
