Iran is prepared to sign a nuclear agreement with U.S. President Donald Trump - if specific conditions are met - according to a senior adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Iran is open to signing a nuclear deal with U.S. President Donald Trump, provided that key conditions are fulfilled, Ali Shamkhani, a top adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, told NBC News on Wednesday.
Shamkhani, who advises the Iranian leadership on political, military, and nuclear matters, stated that Iran is willing to abandon its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, pledge never to develop nuclear weapons, restrict enrichment to civilian levels, and accept international inspections - if all economic sanctions are lifted immediately.
When asked whether Iran would sign such an agreement today if these terms were met, Shamkhani replied, “Yes.”
His remarks mark one of the clearest public expressions from within Khamenei’s inner circle, indicating a potential pathway to reviving nuclear diplomacy. As Iran’s highest authority, the supreme leader holds final authority over national security decisions.
The interview came just hours after Trump extended what he described as an “olive branch” to Iran, coupled with warnings of severe economic sanctions should Tehran refuse to accept restrictions on its nuclear program.
