Here in the States: US President Donald Trump speaking to Fox News, shared that Iran is keen on commercial interactions with the United States.

Flash: Possible Trade Deals with Iran?
Trump, persistently pushing for a nuclear accord, asserted, "If we strike a deal with Iran, trust me, they'll be all smiles."
The current diplomatic dance between the US and Iran revolves around nuclear negotiations, with progress appearing elusive. Despite this, Trump has expressed his preference for averting hostilities and braving diplomatic overtures[1].
Recent developments embody a US proposal encapsulated by Steve Witkoff, submitted to Iran in the fourth round of discussions. This blueprint outlines the expectations for an Iranian nuclear program, including monitoring and verification guidelines[1]. However, there's debate over whether Iran would be entitled to enrich uranium under a future agreement. A senior advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei has signaled Iran's readiness to only enrich uranium for civilian purposes and relinquish its stash of highly enriched stuff in exchange for sanctions relief[1].
The third round of dialogues showed no significant progress, with the US demanding Iran to forsake domestic uranium enrichment as part of a civilian nuclear program[3]. This scenario remains intricate, mirroring the ongoing diplomatic efforts that haven't yet culminated in a treaty[1][3].
High-ranking diplomats from Iran and the E3 (France, UK, Germany) are planning to link up in Istanbul, showing ongoing involvement in the dialogue[1]. Yet, the future course remains muddy, a reflection of the obstacles in forging a complete agreement.
"Ira's policy-and-legislation regarding potential trade deals with the United States could significantly impact general-news headlines, given President Trump's expressed willingness to engage in commercial interactions."
"As the US and Iran navigate complex negotiations over Iran's nuclear program, the politics surrounding any potential policy-and-legislation on trade could hold a decisive role, shaping the future of US-Iran relations."
