Donald Trump said US and Iranian officials held a three-hour meeting at the UN General Assembly in New York, describing it as “very good” and suggesting further talks were planned. The discussions reportedly focused on ending the nearly seven-month US-Iran conflict, as Washington faces pressure from worsening tensions and sharply rising oil prices.

Trump said Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner attended, although it was unclear whether he took part personally, and Iranian officials had not confirmed the meeting. He presented Iran with a choice between reaching an agreement and facing further military action, while also saying he expected Russia and Ukraine to pursue talks to end their war.
