"Trump Wants to Meet with Iran in New York If Conditions Are Met"

U.S. President Donald Trump wants to hold a meeting with the Iranian side in New York on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, CNN reported on the 22nd (local time), citing a U.S. official.

President Trump attached the condition "if conditions are right" to holding talks with Iran, the official said.

The Iranian UN delegation is led by President Masoud Pezeshkian and includes Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.

However, President Trump reportedly harbors doubts over whether the Iranian delegation has been granted full authority by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei.

At this point, no meeting between the U.S. and Iran has been scheduled, and it remains unclear whether the Iranian side is open to the possibility of talks, the official added.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in an interview with U.S. broadcaster NBC on the same day, "We are open [to dialogue with Iran]," while noting that "at this moment, nothing is scheduled."
