U. S. President Donald Trump claimed that an unexpected meeting between U. S. and Iranian officials took place on Tuesday, even as he threatened in his discourse to the UN General Assembly to "annihilate" the Islamic Republic without a deal being reached right away. The conflict has lasted for seven months.
Trump told reporters that Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, his top envoys, had a three-hour meeting with Iranian officials on the outside of the world leaders ' annual meeting, but he gave no details about how the discussions turned out or what the discussions turned into.
Trump continued," It was a very good meeting," adding that Egyptian authorities "were not of the highest level, but it's something. "

Following the demise of a small ceasefire negotiated in June, the United States and Iran have been in constant communication since the meeting.
The Persian issue, which Israel and the United States launched on February 28, is about to come to an end after seven months of negotiations to reach an agreement that puts an end to the conflict.
