WASHINGTON, United States, Jan 27, 2026 (Al Arabiya) -Washington ‍is “open for business” if Iran wishes to ⁠contact the United States, an American official said on Monday, adding that the two sides would ‍have a conversation as ‍long as ‍Tehran ⁠knows ‌what the ⁠terms ‍are.

“I think they ⁠know the terms,” the ‌official said when asked about the terms ‍for Iran. “They’re aware of the terms.”

The US military said Monday the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group had arrived in the Middle East, dramatically boosting American firepower in the region.

The carrier and its accompanying ships were ordered to the region as Iran cracked down on mass protests. While President Donald Trump has since backed away from military action against Tehran, he has insisted all options remain on the table.

The protests in Iran started in late December, driven by economic grievances, but turned into a mass movement against the Islamic Republic, with huge street demonstrations for several days from January 8.

Rights groups have accused authorities of launching an unprecedented crackdown by shooting directly at the protesters under the cover of an internet shutdown.

Trump had repeatedly warned Iran that if it killed protesters, the United States would intervene militarily, and also encouraged Iranians to take over state institutions, saying “help is on the way.”

But he pulled back from ordering strikes earlier this month, saying Tehran had halted more than 800 executions under pressure from Washington.
