Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has offered to host a teleconference between the US and Iranian presidents to ease tensions. While Trump expressed interest in the initiative, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has yet to issue a response, according to the official. She also noted that the US could return to the negotiating table if Tehran offers to cooperate with Washington on Iran’s oil reserves. On Wednesday, Trump warned that a “massive armada” was heading towards Iran and would attack with “speed and violence” unless Tehran agrees to a deal. Middle East Eye reported on Monday that Trump was considering precision strikes against “high-value” Iranian officials and commanders deemed responsible for the deaths of protesters during anti-government demonstrations earlier this month.
