Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, has granted certain powers to the government for Iran US talks meant to help end the Middle East war, President Masoud Pezeshkian said.

Powers for dialogue with Washington

Pezeshkian said Tehran is striving to resolve the issue through dialogue. In that context, he said, the Supreme Leader has conferred certain powers on the government. He did not spell out in the quoted remarks what those powers cover, only that they relate to the government’s role in the talks.

The step underlines how decisions on Iran US talks sit within Iran’s leadership chain. The elected government can negotiate, but authority for sensitive diplomacy can depend on what the Supreme Leader allows.

What Pezeshkian said

Speaking about the effort to settle the conflict through talks, Pezeshkian linked the government’s mandate directly to the Supreme Leader’s decision. “We are striving to resolve the issue through dialogue. In this regard, the Supreme Leader has also conferred certain powers on the government,” he said.

That framing presents the government as seeking a negotiated path, with formal backing from the top of Iran’s power structure for engagement with the United States.

Why the mandate matters

Iran’s political system places the Supreme Leader above the day-to-day government. When Pezeshkian stresses that powers have been conferred, he is signalling that the cabinet’s room to manoeuvre in Iran US talks has been widened by the country’s highest authority. How far those powers go, and what Washington might offer in return, was not detailed in his comments.

For readers following the Middle East conflict, the announcement is about process more than a finished deal: Iran says it wants dialogue, and its president says the Supreme Leader has authorised the government to act in those talks.
