Trump says US and Iranian officials held talks at UN Tuesday, another meeting set

President Trump announced that US and Iranian officials met at the United Nations in New York on Tuesday and that another round of talks is scheduled, as both delegations attend the UN General Assembly.

Why this matters. A scheduled follow-up meeting between US and Iranian officials at the UN raises the near-term possibility of a negotiated de-escalation after six months of war and tanker attacks in Hormuz.
