US, Iranian officials hold three-hour meeting at UN: Trump
Trump said the talks were very good and that another meeting is planned as Washington seeks an end to the war and rising energy risks.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump revealed that U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner held a three-hour meeting with an Iranian delegation on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
- Earlier that day, Trump threatened to "annihilate" the Islamic Republic during his UN address, creating a volatile backdrop for this rare diplomatic encounter aimed at resolving the nearly seven-month war.
- Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi reportedly conveyed Tehran's demands for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, including lifting the U.S. naval blockade, releasing frozen assets, and ending the war on all fronts.
- Trump called the talks "very productive" and said another meeting is scheduled "in the very near future," suggesting momentum toward a broader agreement following November's midterm elections.
- Economic pressure remains a primary driver for negotiations, as the U.S. naval blockade costs the Iranian economy between $400 and $500 million daily, keeping stakes high amid the ongoing conflict.
