Iran president says supreme leader permits talks on non-negotiable issues

The significance lies less in the permission itself than in the framing: labeling something previously non-negotiable as now open to discussion is a shift in posture, and in Tehran's system that signal cannot travel far without the supreme leader's backing. What remains absent is everything that would make it actionable — scope, timing, and which specific files are affected — so markets and diplomats are left reading intent rather than substance. The open question is whether this stays a rhetorical opening or is followed by named issues and a format for talks.
