Just days after taking office, President Joe Biden is already seeking a direct dialogue with Iran, according to a U.S. official who spoke with Sky News Arabia, the Arabic language outlet for the UK-based Sky News.
According to the
translated report by Sky News Arabia, the Washington official said the Biden administration will work through European intermediaries to establish a direct communication channel with the Iranian government in Tehran.
The official said the Biden administration intends to emphasize a strategy of deterring conflict with Iran while working to ease tensions with the country, which escalated under President Donald Trump, especially after Trump withdrew from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, which the U.S. entered into under President Barack Obama and then-Vice President Biden.
The official also said the Biden administration’s strategy will also entail outreach to U.S. allies in the Middle East, including Israel, of changes to U.S. policies towards Iran.
The Times of Israel
reported the Biden administration had already begun talks with Iran and had informed Israel of the conversations.
