Trump calls it a 'very good' three-hour meeting with Iran; The Hill calls it 'indirect talks'

Four US reports describe one contact between US and Iranian officials in New York during the UN General Assembly. They disagree on whether the two sides met directly, and none gives an Iranian account.

United States United States Iran

Four reports, three descriptions of one contact. The Washington Post, citing President Trump, says the United States and Iran "held a rare three-hour meeting in New York". Its headline quotes Trump calling it a "very good meeting". The Hill says Iranian and US officials "held indirect talks" and gives no source for that. A second headline from The Hill calls it a "Trump team meeting with Iranian delegation at UN". Reuters' headline says a "lack of progress on US-Iran peace" lifted oil prices and bond yields.

Outlet What it calls the contact Whose word
The Washington Post "rare three-hour meeting", "very good" Trump's alone
The Hill "indirect talks" no source given
The Hill, second report "Trump team meeting with Iranian delegation" headline only
Reuters "lack of progress on US-Iran peace" markets as the measure

No Iranian account. None of the four reports quotes an Iranian official on what happened. The Hill reports that Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian was due to address the General Assembly on Wednesday.

A jailed journalist. Senators from both parties raised the case of a US journalist jailed in Iran before the meeting, The Hill's headline says. We hold only the headline, and it does not name the journalist.

What is not settled - Whether the two sides sat in the same room. A meeting and indirect talks are different things. - The three hours come from Trump's word alone. - What, if anything, was agreed. None of the reports says. - Who carried messages, if the talks were indirect. None of the reports names a go-between.

What this is about: whether the United States and Iran are now talking to each other directly about ending the war between them.

How it got here. Washington and Tehran have had no diplomatic relations since 1980. The break followed the 1979 revolution and the seizure of the US embassy in Tehran. For decades, most contact between them has gone through intermediaries. In 2015 Iran, the US and five other powers signed a nuclear deal that limited Iran's nuclear programme in exchange for sanctions relief. In 2018, during his first term, Trump withdrew the US from the deal and reimposed sanctions. In 2025 the two sides held rounds of talks on the nuclear programme through Oman as mediator, with each delegation mostly in a separate room. In June 2025 Israel struck Iran, and the US bombed three Iranian nuclear sites. The present war is a later and wider conflict. The Hill describes it as "America's war in the Middle East" and says it is nearing its seventh month. The reports we hold do not say how it started, so we do not describe that here.

Why New York. The UN General Assembly meets in New York every September, and heads of state come to speak at its general debate. That puts US and Iranian delegations in one city. Trump addressed the Assembly on Tuesday. Iran's president, Masoud Pezeshkian, was due to speak on Wednesday.

The actors. The Trump administration is fighting the war and is under pressure from Congress, including over Americans held in Iran. Iran's leadership has long refused open, direct talks with Washington while under pressure. That is why the difference between a "meeting" and "indirect talks" matters.

What is at stake. Iran borders the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow sea lane that carries much of the Gulf's oil exports. That is why oil prices move on any news of talks. Direct talks would open a channel for ending the war. Indirect talks would suggest the old pattern is still in place.

Where it stands. One contact happened in New York. The reports disagree on what kind it was, and none says what came of it.
