On the sidelines of the UN Assembly, talks between US delegates and Iranian mediators. Tehran demands an end to the naval blockade and the unfreezing of assets.
U.S. President Donald Trump has stated that he believes an agreement with Iran is possible after the November midterm elections. The announcement comes on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, where talks were held between U.S. delegates and Iranian mediators.
U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff confirmed lengthy discussions conducted through mediators who shuttled between the two delegations. Iran, through Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei, conveyed its conditions for an agreement: an end to the war on all fronts, cessation of U.S. military actions, lifting of the naval blockade, and unfreezing of frozen Iranian assets.
The conflict between the United States and Iran erupted on February 28, when the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran, decapitating its leadership. Iran responded by striking Israel, U.S. bases in the Gulf, and blocking the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial route for global oil transport. In June, the parties signed a 14-point memorandum of understanding with a ceasefire, but on July 8, the U.S. attacked again, triggering further raids.
The current situation sees the Strait of Hormuz effectively blocked, with Iran also mobilizing Hezbollah in Lebanon. Negotiations, conducted through Qatari mediators, are seeking a solution to resolve the crisis. Trump maintains a threatening tone, calling Iran the "bully of the Middle East" and not ruling out bombing the Pickaxe Mountain nuclear site, but simultaneously authorizes diplomatic meetings.
