Iran lists terms for reopening Strait of Hormuz and ending war

Iran has communicated its conditions to the United States for reopening the Strait of Hormuz and ending the war, according to Iranian state media, following a meeting between Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and US envoy Steve Witkoff in New York. The conditions include the immediate lifting of the naval blockade, the release of frozen Iranian assets, and an end to the war on all fronts. The meeting occurred on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, but Israeli media cited US sources saying no agreement was reached on most points of contention, with another meeting expected soon. President Donald Trump described the talks, which lasted about three hours, as going "very well" and announced another meeting in the near future without disclosing details. The discussions come amid ongoing conflict between the US and Iran, with Trump having called for tightened economic isolation on Iran and reiterating the need to prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
