Trump and Erdogan’s Attempt to Arrange US-Iran Meeting Fails Due to Missing Khamenei

Donald Trump and Recep Tayyip Erdogan attempted to organize talks between the US and Iran, but they were unable to reach Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, according to Axios. The report suggests that Trump was willing to travel to Turkey if necessary for a meeting with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkan. However, Turkish officials informed their Iranian counterparts, who sought Khamenei’s approval for the encounter. Unfortunately, communication with the reclusive leader proved impossible due to fears of assassination. Ultimately, Tehran notified Ankara that the required approval could not be secured, leading to the cancellation of the planned US-Iran meeting.
