Diplomatie: USA und Iran treffen sich erstmals seit Monaten

In a rare diplomatic meeting, representatives of the United States and Iran convened on the sidelines of the UN General Debate in New York City on Tuesday. The conversation, lasting three hours, was described as "very good" by U.S. President Donald Trump, who spoke to reporters without divulging all the participants. The meeting was confirmed by Iranian state media and involved U.S. negotiator Steve Witkoff and Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner.

Witkoff later stated he felt very good after the meeting. Details about Iranian participants were not disclosed, nor was it confirmed if there were concrete outcomes. Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghtsch, reportedly participated alongside Witkoff and Kushner, with mediation from Pakistan and Qatar. The discussion focused on achieving a potential agreement, according to U.S. and regional sources.

Trump hinted at a future meeting, but provided no specifics. The meeting occurred at the request of the U.S., with Iran's participants indicating conditions for opening the Strait of Hormuz, such as lifting the U.S. naval blockade and ending hostilities. Iran's General Staff of Armed Forces responded to Trump's UN speech, dismissing his remarks as "intra-political propaganda" and warning of harsher measures.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei's representative at the General Debate will be Ayatollah Hossein Nouri, according to state media. Iran and the U.S. continue to face tense fronts, with Teheran showing willingness to end the conflict based on the June framework agreement. The main dispute now revolves around control of the Hormuz Strait, crucial for international oil trade.

Trump threatened Iran during his UN speech, suggesting a potential attack on a suspected nuclear facility in the country, known as "Pickaxe Mountain." However, the U.S. President reiterated his threat of "hell" if Iran escalates the conflict further.
