US President Donald Trump calls on the United States to pursue complete economic isolation of Iran, while indicating he does not plan to resume negotiations during the UN General Assembly. Speaking ahead of meetings in New York, he says he expects a deal could be reached after the US midterm elections in November.
The reporting links Trump’s stance to Iran’s earlier signals that it may seek to revive talks aimed at ending the ongoing conflict, which has lasted nearly seven months. Iran’s position is discussed alongside expectations that the presidents of the United States and Iran will be in New York for UN-related events.
Across the outlets provided, the core details are consistent: Trump emphasizes isolation rather than renewed talks at the UN forum, and he ties prospects for an agreement to the post–midterm election period. The Cyprus Mail repeats the Reuters-based account and does not add a distinct angle beyond the framing of the call for isolation. Al-Monitor presents the same Reuters summary, including the timing and context around potential future negotiations.
