Iranian President Says Supreme Leader Permits Talks on Nonnegotiable Issues

Iran's president said the supreme leader has permitted talks on issues previously considered nonnegotiable, a signal with potential implications for oil markets and broader risk sentiment.

The permission concerns subjects Iran had previously treated as outside negotiation.

Those subjects may now be discussed.

Permission to discuss an issue does not establish that Iran has changed its position on it.

The president's statement describes what may be discussed. It does not announce an agreement on the disputed issues.
