Iran’s Araghchi Meets Trump Envoys Witkoff and Kushner in New York
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met U.S. President Donald Trump’s envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in New York during the UN General Assembly, as Washington and Tehran continued direct diplomatic contacts amid heightened tensions.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met U.S. President Donald Trump’s envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in New York on the sidelines of the 81st United Nations General Assembly.
Trump confirmed that Witkoff and Kushner held talks with the Iranian side for around three hours, describing the meeting as “very good.” Iranian officials also confirmed Araghchi’s participation in the talks.
The meeting came as Washington and Tehran continued diplomatic contacts aimed at addressing the conflict and broader tensions between the two countries.
Trump later said talks with Iran were continuing and expressed confidence that a settlement could eventually be reached. He also reiterated that Washington would not accept Iran obtaining nuclear weapons.
The Strait of Hormuz was also a major issue surrounding the latest diplomatic efforts. Iran has indicated that it could reopen the strategic waterway if the United States eases military pressure and lifts its blockade on Iranian ports. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
