US and Iran Hold Mediated UNGA Talks on Ending War and Opening Strait of Hormuz

US and Iran held hours of indirect talks through mediators at the UN General Assembly in New York on Tuesday on ending the war and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Envoy Steve Witkoff said mediators shuttled between delegations and completed a round of discussions. President Donald Trump said Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Iranian officials for three hours in a productive session, though accounts differed on direct contact and the White House clarified Trump did not attend. Tehran links diplomatic progress to lifting shipping blockades and unfreezing assets.
