🔥 Big news from the Middle East: this past Sunday (Jan 11), U.S. President Donald Trump announced that leaders from Iran have officially reached out, seeking to negotiate face to face. He told reporters aboard Air Force One that “a meeting is being set up. They want to negotiate.” 🤝
This diplomatic drama is giving telenovelas a run for their money. 🎭
But there’s a twist: Trump warned that Iran is “crossing red lines” by allegedly causing civilian deaths in ongoing protests. He even suggested that “we may have to act before a meeting”—a clear sign that military options remain on the table. The president is set to meet senior advisers on Tuesday (Jan 13) to map out potential moves.
On the other side of the table, Tehran isn’t just thinking about diplomacy. Iranian authorities have also detailed their subsidy reform plans—a key part of their domestic agenda. While specifics are still unfolding, these reforms could reshape how energy and food support reach ordinary citizens.
What’s next? 🤔 Will the U.S. and Iran find common ground at the negotiation table? Or could tensions escalate before talks even begin? With protests in Iran still making headlines and both sides sounding tough, all eyes will be on that upcoming meeting.
Stay tuned as we follow this story. 📲
