Trump and Iran hold three-hour talks at UN General Assembly

derwesten.de (German)

Trump met with Iranian representatives for three hours on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, calling the exchange "very good" and hinting at a potential shift in the ongoing conflict. The talks focused on seeking a new agreement amid the stalled war that began in February 2026. Iran recently signaled willingness to end the conflict based on a June framework, but that collapsed. Control of the Strait of Hormuz remains the central dispute. Trump also issued stark threats, offering Iran a deal for economic strength or "destruction." Separately, Iran-backed Houthi militants seized Yemen's west coast, controlling the Bab al-Mandab strait, prompting Saudi Arabia to seek allies.
