Al Jazeera EnglishFactual
The US and Iran held hours of mediated talks on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, with US envoy Steve Witkoff saying mediators shuttled between the delegations while President Trump claimed Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Iranian officials directly for three hours. Iran said its conditions included lifting the US naval blockade, releasing frozen assets and ending the war, and it could reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days if Washington eased military pressure. Qatar said it was working with Pakistan to reduce US-Iran tensions and safeguard navigation through the strait.
