President Donald Trump says Iranian leaders have contacted the US to "negotiate", as he considers taking military action in the country in response to the killing of protesters.
Speaking to reporters on board Air Force One, Trump said a meeting was being set up – but added he may have to act before any meeting.
Hundreds of people have reportedly been killed by security forces in Iran since late December.
The US-based Human Rights Activist News Agency says it has verified the deaths of nearly 500 protesters.
Iranian authorities have imposed an internet shutdown since Thursday, making it hard to obtain information from the country.
