NEW YORK: US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff said lengthy discussions were held with the Iranian delegation on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly through mediators.
In a statement, Witkoff said the mediators shuttled between the two sides throughout the day and successfully completed a round of discussions.
“We hope” the talks will prove “constructive and promising,” Witkoff said, adding that the mediators would continue their efforts.
The latest discussions come amid ongoing diplomatic efforts to address differences between the United States and Iran and explore a possible path toward de-escalation.
