Iran Says It Conveyed Conditions for Reviving Diplomacy With US Through Qatar
A foreign ministry spokesman said a two-hour exchange in New York centered on Tehran's demands to end US pressure and secure safe shipping routes.
Iran's Foreign Ministry said it has conveyed its conditions for reviving diplomacy with the United States through Qatari mediation, following a roughly two-hour exchange in New York during the UN General Assembly session.
A ministry spokesman said the discussion focused on Tehran's demands for ending US military and economic pressure on Iran, as well as securing safe shipping routes, though further specifics of the conditions were not detailed publicly.
Qatar has played a recurring mediating role between Iran and the United States in recent years amid periodic tensions over Iran's nuclear program and broader regional disputes. The New York exchange comes against a backdrop of continued strain between Washington and Tehran following recent military actions in the region.
The US State Department has not issued a matching public statement confirming the details of the exchange or Iran's specific conditions.
It remains unclear whether the contact will lead to a resumption of formal negotiations between the two countries in the near term.
