Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told journalists in New York, "We wish Americans to return to the MoU before the midterms," referring to the June memorandum whose ceasefire collapsed within weeks. He also said Iran was open to inspections of its nuclear facilities and denied that Tehran seeks to assassinate Trump or his family.
Why it matters
Trump has said Iran will deal only after the November election, so Tehran is signalling it wants the timeline pulled forward while pressing the same terms.
