US envoys Steve Witkof and Jared Kushner are negotiating with Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf regarding the US-Iran crisis. According to sources, mediators are trying to arrange a meeting in Islamabad between these officials and US Vice President JD Vance. President Trump stated that the US and Iran had talks that led to "significant points of agreement," which may end the war. He emphasized that he is talking to a senior Iranian leader, not Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, and that they are considering a joint leadership. Trump mentioned that the US is seeking to obtain enriched uranium from Iran and that the Iranian side has agreed not to acquire a nuclear weapon. He spoke of 15 points of agreement and expressed hope for an agreement that would be beneficial to both sides. In addition, Trump announced the easing of sanctions on Iranian oil that has been stranded at sea, with the aim of reducing oil prices in the event of an agreement.
