The delegations from the United States and Iran met on September 22 at the United Nations headquarters in New York during the UN General Assembly.
According to Yonhap News, President Donald Trump stated during a bilateral meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that the talks with Iran went "very well" and lasted "three hours."
Iran's state-run IRIB reported that the U.S. side was represented by Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner, while Iran's delegation was led by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
Trump described the meeting as "very good," adding, "Iran has two choices: one is total destruction, and the other is the potential to become great. Iran can be a great nation."
He noted that the discussions were "very productive" and that additional talks are scheduled to take place soon. "What comes out of this will be interesting to see. But it is clear that reaching an agreement is also beneficial for Iran," he said.
Later, at the U.S.-led security cooperation event in Latin America called "Shield of the Americas," Trump mentioned that "Steve and Jared met with the mediators of the Iran negotiations here at the UN. They were not the highest level, but many good ideas came out, and a lot of things are going very well."
During a multilateral meeting with Middle Eastern leaders, Trump explained, "Steve and Jared had a very productive meeting today with Iran's mediators, those who are actually playing a mediating role. They have been mediating for some time, and from what we hear from everyone, there is significant momentum to reach an agreement."
