U.S. team meets with Iranians despite Trump’s annihilation threat
The U.S. president described the meeting as "very good." Iran has yet to comment on the meeting or say who attended.
President Donald Trump reported that U.S. officials held a "very productive" meeting with Iranian envoys in New York on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly. The three-hour discussion took place hours after Trump threatened to annihilate Iran. Trump confirmed that Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, his special envoys, took part in the meeting, which has raised hopes for a new diplomatic path with Iran.
However, Iran has not yet released any information about the meeting, including who attended. The meeting comes amidst a series of military strikes by the U.S. and Israel in late February, which have caused significant unrest in the Middle East and disrupted global energy markets.
