President Donald Trump says U.S. officials meet with Iranian representatives in New York on Tuesday, calling the encounter “very good.” Trump presents the direct contact as a rare development that could help reopen negotiations.
The reported meeting is framed as an opportunity to restart talks aimed at ending the nearly seven-month war. Both accounts describe the meeting as direct, rather than mediated, which underscores its potential significance for diplomatic efforts. In the available reports, the emphasis remains on Trump’s characterization of the meeting’s quality and the prospect of renewed dialogue, with no additional details about specific terms, participants, or follow-up steps.
