Diplomacy: USA and Iran meet for the first time in months
The fronts in the Iran war are considered to be hardened. Now, according to the Americans, negotiations have taken place for the first time in a long while. Iran emphasises that this was done at the request of the US.
US President Donald Trump met with Iranian representatives on the sidelines of the UN General Debate in New York, describing the three-hour meeting as "very good". The meeting, which was confirmed by Iranian state media, included Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner, but Trump did not disclose the names of the Iranian participants.
According to US media, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghtschi attended the meeting, which was mediated by Pakistan and Qatar, and focused on finding a path to an agreement. Trump hinted at a possible future meeting, while Iranian state media reported that the US was informed of Iran's conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
