Iran war: Who in Tehran could shape talks with the US?

Following an April 8, 2026, ceasefire between the US (allied with Israel) and Iran, efforts to negotiate a permanent end to their war have stalled, with recent talks in Pakistan failing and US President Donald Trump citing Iran's chaotic domestic politics as a complication. Key Iranian figures influencing negotiation dynamics include hardliner IRGC commander Ahmad Vahidi, parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf (who supports direct talks), ultra-hardliner Saeed Jalili, newly appointed Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei (reportedly injured in an attack), President Masoud Pezeshkian, and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who has conveyed proposals to the US via mediators that include Strait of Hormuz access in exchange for lifted port blockades—though Trump insists nuclear program discussions be part of any negotiations.
