The president of the United States, Donald Trump, said on Tuesday (the 22nd) that an American delegation met with representatives from Iran on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, and that a new meeting should be scheduled soon.
In a press conference before a bilateral meeting with the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, Trump said the conversation “was very productive” and took place late Tuesday morning, lasting about three hours.
Arab states that act as mediators were trying to enable a high-level meeting between Washington and Tehran, according to A Axios, in an attempt to unlock negotiations that have been stalled for months.
The Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, went so far as to say that Trump would be open to meeting with the Iranian president, Masoud Pezeshkian, which was not confirmed.
