Trump said a three‑hour UN meeting with Iranian officials was “very good,” but reports indicate no breakthroughs and further talks are planned.
President Donald Trump told reporters at the United Nations that U.S. officials held a “very good” three‑hour meeting with the Iranian delegation at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday.
According to Al Jazeera updates, the meeting involved U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and, reportedly, Iran’s foreign minister. The discussion covered possible conditions for ending the conflict and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, but no breakthroughs were reported and another meeting is expected in the coming days.
Iranian state media confirmed a meeting between Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and U.S. representative Steve Witkoff, describing it as a request from the American side to convey Iran’s messages and conditions, particularly regarding the Strait of Hormuz.
U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff later said he had “lengthy talks” with the Iranian delegation on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, conducted through mediators who shuttled between the sides. He described the round of discussions as successfully completed and expressed hope that the outcome would be constructive and promising.
