A senior US official claims Washington now has direct communication with senior figures in Iran's system, a situation the official says has not existed in 47 years. According to the official, as reported by Amichai Stein (i24NEWS), the Iranians are agreeing to concessions they previously rejected, and the US is willing to consider steps it previously would not have, indicating progress in talks.
A senior US official has disclosed that Washington maintains direct lines of communication with senior figures inside the Iranian system — a channel the official described as unprecedented in 47 years, according to Amichai Stein (i24NEWS). The official stated that this direct access allows the US to understand Iran's demands, and that Tehran is now agreeing to concessions it refused in the past. In return, the official said, the US is prepared to consider steps it previously rejected.
The comments add a new layer to a flurry of reporting on the secret US-Iran nuclear track. As The Zioneer has reported over the past week, Vice President Vance said Monday that Washington is speaking directly with Iran and called Gulf states allies of the Trump deal. By Friday, a senior official was quoted saying an imminent 'Islamabad Agreement' would remove all enriched uranium. Saturday saw Iran sources simultaneously report heavy US pressure not to retaliate and a lack of a final deal, followed by a US assertion that 'we think we have a deal.'
The claim of a direct US-Iran channel — if accurate — would mark a dramatic shift from decades of indirect diplomacy through intermediaries such as Oman, Switzerland, and the Qatari government. The official did not specify what concessions Iran has made or what reciprocal steps the US is considering.
