Diplomacy: They're talking again: USA and Iran negotiate at the UN in New York
Do the new talks lead to progress in efforts to end the Iran war? At the United Nations in New York, Russia's war against Ukraine is also in focus.
US President Donald Trump met with Iranian representatives on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, describing the talks as "very good". The meeting, which lasted three hours, was confirmed by Iranian state media and involved Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghtschi reportedly communicated conditions for opening the Strait of Hormuz, including the lifting of US sea blockade and the release of frozen Iranian assets.
The talks are seen as a potential new development in efforts to end the Iran conflict, with Trump suggesting further discussions will take place soon.
