Axios reports that during the UN General Assembly in New York on Tuesday U.S. Middle East envoy Witkoff and Kushner held indirect talks with Iranian foreign minister Araghchi, with Qatari officials relaying messages. Araghchi conveyed Iran's conditions: if the U.S. lifts a naval blockade, lifts oil‑sales sanctions and restores a comprehensive regional ceasefire, Iran would reopen the Strait of Hormuz within a week and resume nuclear talks. Trump rejected the proposal on Saturday, but a U.S. official and two regional sources say Qatari mediators continued shuttle diplomacy over the weekend, circulating a compromise text and iterating edits; mediators were expected to meet Araghchi and Witkoff on Monday.
