Politico: Trump Considers Jalili as Potential Negotiator and Future Leader of Iran

The Trump administration is considering Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Jalili as a potential negotiator – and even a future leader of the country – as it shifts from military pressure to a negotiated solution. Jalili, known for his threats against the U.S., is seen by some in the White House as a reliable interlocutor. The Trump administration is seeking a partner for negotiations, aiming to avoid further escalation and find a way out of the conflict in Iran. This intention demonstrates a desire for economic stability, particularly regarding oil. However, the choice of Jalili is not final, and the Trump administration is considering other candidates.
