Washington: The New York Times has reported that Iranian intelligence officials have reached out to the United States seeking dialogue. According to the report, Iranian officials did not make direct contact but instead conveyed their message through the intelligence agency of a third country.
The New York Times noted that this outreach comes at a time when tensions between Iran and the United States are at a peak and relations between the two countries remain severely strained. However, the report did not identify the third country through which the message was relayed.
Neither American nor Iranian officials have so far issued any official response to the report. Analysts suggest that if the outreach is confirmed, it could be an early indication of a potential diplomatic opening between the two longstanding adversaries.
