He said that he will be speaking with President Trump on Sunday in Florida.
And the issues that are left to discuss are issues with regard to security guarantees and, of course, territorial concessions.

You may remember the protests which erupted in Iran after the death in custody of Mahsa Amini three years ago, a young Iranian woman arrested by the Morality Police for not wearing her hijab properly.
Among those who posted in support of the Women, Life, Freedom movement against women's oppression was Tarana Ali-Dusti,
She's one of Iran's best-known actresses.
Now, in an exclusive interview with BBC Persian TV for a documentary, she says she will not take any role where she's required to wear the hijab.

And all the changes that you see right now are changes that all my life I wish for them to happen.
And I know that you can't change Iran with a couple of social media posts.
And as an Iranian woman, I feel that burden of responsibility on my shoulders.
How could you remain silent after Mahsa Amini's death, after witnessing women being beaten to death for taking off their scarves?
