US President Donald Trump stated that he is open to meeting Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly session in New York, while outlining three distinct US options regarding Tehran.
Speaking to Fox News senior correspondent Trey Yingst on Sunday, Trump addressed potential talks with the Iranian leader, asserting that Iran must recognize its choices: regime elimination, economic crippling, or signing a new agreement. The 81st UNGA session runs from September 22 to 28, with the US issuing visas to Pezeshkian, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi, and senior delegates to attend.
Military conflict between the US and Iran over Tehran's nuclear program escalated into military action on February 28, despite two subsequent broken ceasefires. Tensions currently focus on the Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime corridor carrying 20 percent of global fuel supplies that Tehran blocked to foreign vessels. Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf confirmed Sunday that Iran has relayed its conditions for reopening the strategic waterway to Washington through international mediators.
