President Donald Trump has indicated a willingness to meet Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian at the UN General Assembly in New York, as the US-Iran war continues. Trey Yingst, a Fox News journalist, reported that Trump stated, "He said he would probably be open to it." The US and Iran are engaged in a nearly seven-month conflict, with Tehran presenting seven conditions for ending the war.
In his speech at the UN meeting, Trump is expected to justify the US action in Iran and discuss his efforts to achieve peace deals worldwide. He is also anticipated to address the 20-point peace plan for Gaza and the importance of preventing Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. Meanwhile, Pezeshkian is in New York to attend the 81st session of the UN General Assembly, where he will present Iran's positions, particularly focusing on the war with the US and Israel.
