Iran presented conditions to US representatives for reopening the Strait of Hormuz during a Tuesday meeting at the UN General Assembly, according to Iranian state media. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met with US envoy Steve Witkoff, demanding an immediate lifting of the naval blockade, release of frozen Iranian assets, and an end to war on all fronts. President Trump confirmed the three-hour meeting, calling it "very good." Trump also confirmed a new meeting is planned soon. This follows a June 17 memorandum of understanding, which included a ceasefire and reopening the strait, but both sides returned to naval blockades and the two-month negotiation deadline expired.
