US-Israel-Iran War Latest Live Updates: The possibility of a historic meeting between US President Donald Trump and Iran’s newly appointed Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has sparked international attention amid ongoing tensions in the US-Israel-Iran conflict. However, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has poured cold water on the idea, urging observers to “live in the real world” as diplomatic efforts remain stalled. Speaking on Friday, Araghchi dismissed reports suggesting that a high-level meeting between Trump and Khamenei could take place in the near future. According to remarks cited by Al Jazeera, the Iranian foreign minister said discussions about such a meeting were detached from the current geopolitical reality. “I saw a report which apparently said that Trump said he was ready for a meeting or wanted to hold a meeting. But I think we should be realistic and think and live in the real world,” Araghchi said. US-Israel-Iran War Latest Live Updates: Trump Says He Would Be Open to Meeting Mojtaba Khamenei The comments came after President Trump indicated that he would be willing to meet Iran’s Supreme Leader if doing so could help secure a broader agreement with Tehran.

Speaking to reporters at the White House on Thursday, Trump said he would be “honored” to meet Khamenei and stressed that he would approach any such encounter respectfully despite acknowledging that he is unlikely to be viewed favorably by Iranian leaders. “I don’t want to meet, but if I did meet, I’d be honored to meet him. I’d like to see if we make a deal, but if we make a deal, it’s possible that I would meet him. I’d be okay with it,” Trump said. The US president added that while he had not personally proposed a meeting, others had raised the possibility as part of broader diplomatic discussions aimed at reducing tensions between Washington and Tehran. US-Israel-Iran War Latest Live Updates: US-Iran Negotiations Show No Major Breakthrough Despite continued indirect communication through mediators, Araghchi acknowledged that negotiations between Iran and the United States have yet to produce meaningful results. “There has been no tangible progress,” the Iranian foreign minister said, indicating that major differences remain unresolved even as both sides continue exchanging messages.

The lack of diplomatic progress comes against the backdrop of an escalating regional crisis involving Iran, Israel and the United States. Recent military exchanges have heightened fears of a wider conflict across the Middle East, while efforts to revive diplomatic engagement remain fragile. US-Israel-Iran War Latest Live Updates: Strait of Hormuz Shipping Activity Remains Under Scrutiny Global energy markets are closely monitoring developments around the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important oil transit routes. Ship-tracking data cited by Bloomberg showed no commercial vessel transits through the strategic waterway on Friday morning after limited traffic was recorded a day earlier. The situation has raised concerns about potential disruptions to global oil supplies, although markets have so far avoided the worst-case scenarios predicted following recent military actions involving the United States, Israel and Iran.
