The administration of US President Donald Trump is carefully considering the possibility of engaging the speaker of the Iranian parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, as a potential negotiating partner in the next phase of the crisis with Iran.
According to a Politico report, cited by international media, two US administration officials have confirmed that Ghalibaf is seen by some circles in the White House as a figure for dialogue and potentially with a broader role in leading the country in the future.
One of the officials stated that he is considered "a promising candidate," but stressed that the evaluation is still in the preliminary stage and no final decision has been made.
These developments come at a time of high tensions between the US and Iran, where contacts between the parties remain unclear and largely indirect. President Trump has spoken of "constructive talks," while Iranian authorities have denied the existence of direct negotiations.
Other reports suggest that Ghalibaf may be one of the key figures in the mediated communications, although he himself has denied direct contacts with Washington and warned of reactions to American pressure.
Ghalibaf, 64, is a high-profile figure in Iran's conservative camp and has taken tough stances against the US and its allies in the past. However, some US officials believe his position within the power structures could make him an important player in any potential negotiation process.
Discussions about possible figures within the Iranian system are also related to uncertainties over the current leadership structure in Tehran and US efforts to find effective channels of communication in a complicated geopolitical situation.
Currently, there is no official confirmation of such a role for Ghalibaf, while developments remain in a dynamic and unclear phase.
