US and Iran Hold First Talks in Months at UN General Assembly

US and Iranian representatives met for the first time in months for negotiations on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, with US President Donald Trump calling the three-hour exchange "very good." The talks come amid efforts to end the Iran war. Iranian state media confirmed the talks, which involved Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner. Iran communicated conditions for opening the Strait of Hormuz, including lifting the US naval blockade and unfreezing Iranian assets. Pakistan and Qatar reportedly mediated. The war has been stalled since a framework agreement collapsed earlier this year. Trump also met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who reiterated readiness for a limited ceasefire on energy infrastructure attacks, though Russia has rejected the proposal.
