President Donald Trump indicated he would be open to meeting Iran’s supreme leader as diplomatic efforts continue over Tehran’s nuclear program, emphasizing that the United States will not allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon. Trump has recently stated that he could meet Iran’s leadership if doing so would help secure an agreement and advance ongoing negotiations aimed at preventing nuclear proliferation.

The comments come as tensions surrounding Iran remain a central focus of international diplomacy following months of conflict and negotiations involving the United States, Israel, and regional partners. Trump has repeatedly described preventing an Iranian nuclear weapon as a top national security priority while expressing optimism that talks could produce a lasting resolution.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has proposed direct face-to-face talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in a neutral country as part of an effort to end the war in Ukraine. Zelenskyy called for immediate negotiations and indicated Ukraine would support a ceasefire during talks, highlighting growing international pressure for a diplomatic path forward after years of conflict.
