With the commencement of the United Nations General Assembly in New York and the simultaneous presence of senior officials from Iran and the United States, the possibility of contact and even negotiation between Tehran and Washington at the margins of this meeting has once again been raised. Previously, Trump and now Mark Rubio, the Secretary of State, and Mike Waltz, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, have claimed that the President is prepared to meet with Masoud Pezeshkian, and the question is whether Tehran is willing to sit directly at the table with us or not. Meanwhile, an Iranian official, in an interview with Kyodo News, ruled out any meeting between Pezeshkian and Trump on the sidelines of this meeting but stated that there is still a possibility of progress towards an agreement.
