Iran’s president seeks U.S. deal before November elections

nbcnews.com —

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Thursday he wants a deal with the U.S. to end the war before November's midterm elections, expressing hope Americans return to a collapsed ceasefire memorandum. Pezeshkian spoke at the U.N. General Assembly, two days after President Trump predicted no deal until after the vote. The White House rejected the overture, citing Iran's attacks and terrorism, while polls show 69% disapproval of Trump's war handling. Iran's president also said Tehran is open to nuclear inspections and denied plots to assassinate Trump, despite U.S. charges in a murder-for-hire case. He met twice with new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, who succeeded his father after an Israeli strike.
