President Donald Trump says a three-hour round of U.S.-Iran talks in New York went well and that there is now momentum toward a possible agreement. <\/p>\n
The discussions took place on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly, with U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner communicating with the Iranian delegation through mediators. <\/p>\n
Trump says another meeting is expected in the near future, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Washington remains open to talks as long as Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n
Major disagreements remain, especially over Iran\u2019s demand that the U.S. ease military pressure and lift its blockade in exchange for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. <\/p>\n
Iranian officials say their delegation has authority to negotiate and views the U.N. gathering as an opportunity to revive diplomacy. <\/p>\n
Trump has continued to warn that military action remains an option if no agreement is reached, while saying he believes Tehran ultimately wants a deal. <\/p>\n
For now, both sides are keeping the negotiating channel open while maintaining economic and military pressure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"President Donald Trump says a three-hour round of U.S.-Iran talks in New York went well and that there…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":445063,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[56,58,57,66,223,27],"class_list":["post-445062","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-houston","tag-houston","tag-houston-headlines","tag-houston-news","tag-local","tag-news","tag-texas"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/445062","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=445062"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/445062\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/445063"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=445062"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=445062"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=445062"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
