The Trump administration is discreetly evaluating the current Iranian parliament speaker, Mohammad \u2060Bagher Ghalibaf, as a potential dialogue partner – and even a potential political leader in Tehran – as Donald Trump signals a shift in attitude, from forcing a military conflict resolution to finding a solution more through negotiations, Politico reports<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the age of 64, Mohammad \u2060Bagher Ghalibaf, although he has repeatedly threatened the USA and its allies, is nevertheless seen by some people at the White House as a “partner with whom one can work” and who might even be capable of leading Iran and negotiating with the Trump administration in the “second phase”, post-conflict, two White House officials anonymously told Politico.<\/p>\n

However, the White House is not yet fully committed to choosing a single person at this time and is instead “testing” multiple candidates.<\/p>\n

“But he is a significant option,”<\/em> an American administration official said about Ghalibaf.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

White House spokeswoman, Karoline Leavitt, said that “There are sensitive discussions at the diplomatic level, and the United States does not intend to conduct negotiations through the press.”<\/p>\n
