President Trump says he would be “honored” to meet Iran’s supreme leader if the United States and Iran reach a peace deal. Speaking in the Oval Office, Trump said he does not want to meet, but indicated that a meeting could occur “if we make a deal” to end the conflict. Multiple outlets report the comments as part of Trump’s broader discussion of potential negotiations aimed at reaching an agreement.
Coverage also notes that one outlet refers to Iran’s supreme leader by name, identifying him as Mojtaba Khamenei. Others describe the role more generally as Iran’s supreme leader, without specifying a name. None of the accounts provide additional details about proposed meeting conditions, timing, or whether either government has accepted such an arrangement.
Overall, the reports present the same core point: Trump frames the prospect of a meeting as conditional on achieving a deal between the countries, while emphasizing that he would prefer not to meet if negotiations do not produce an agreement.
