On June 7, US President Donald Trump expressed readiness to hold direct talks with Iran's Supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei in case of interest from the Iranian side.

"I would have done it if he wanted to," Trump said in an interview with NBC.

At the same time, the American leader clarified that to date he had not yet had direct contacts with the supreme leader of the Islamic Republic. Trump also noted the "certain bravery" of the Iranian leader. During the interview, the politician refused to directly answer the question of whether the United States has information about Khamenei's current whereabouts.

"I don't want to say whether I know where he is or not. But there is a high probability that I know," Trump added.
