Trump Says U.S. and Iranian Delegations Held Three-Hour Talks... Additional Meeting Soon

"Reaching an Agreement Would Benefit Iran"

U.S. President Donald Trump announced that delegations from the United States and Iran held talks in New York on the 22nd (local time), where the United Nations General Assembly is being held. Earlier, in his UN General Assembly speech, President Trump warned that if Iran does not agree, the U.S. could launch a military attack.

During a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the same day, President Trump was asked about contact with Iran. He said, "It went very well. It ended an hour ago and lasted for three hours." He added, "It was a very productive meeting," and stated, "Another meeting is scheduled to take place in the very near future."

He pressed further, saying, "Iran has two choices. One is complete destruction, and the other is the potential to become a great nation." He emphasized, "Making an agreement would also benefit the Iranian side." However, he did not specify the participants in the meeting or the details of the discussions.

Earlier that day, in his UN General Assembly speech, President Trump also said that Iran must choose whether to reach an agreement to open the path to reconstruction or to be quickly "annihilated." He called on other countries to join in completely isolating Iran economically. At the same time, he predicted that an agreement with Iran could be reached after the U.S. midterm elections in November.
