To the numerous signals emerged recently in the debates and discussions in Iran about the existence in the “Nezam” of a certain level of consensus at the highest levels towards starting diplomatic negotiations with the Trump administration, an important one is added today.
Foreign Minister Araghchi has reposted a post by the SL Khamenei, in which it is explicitly referred to the possibility of reaching an agreement with a counterpart, although within a series of warnings and calls to be extremely careful.
It is worth mentioning the wording used by the Office of the SL: “Behind the smile of diplomacy there are always hidden and inner enmities and grudges of the evil one. Let us open our eyes and be careful with whom we are facing, dealing with and talking. When a person knows his opponent, HE MAY MAKE A DEAL, but he knows what to do. We must recognise and know”.
This is the clearest message sent by Khamenei so far and recalls in its contents the one on “heroic flexibility” which paved the way to the conclusion of the JCPOA.
