US officials, including roving envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, held meetings with Iranian representatives at the United Nations yesterday. These discussions took place shortly after President Trump issued a public threat of 'annihilation' against Iran.

The meeting marks the first formal communication between the two nations since a ceasefire agreement collapsed in June. Since that time, both sides have engaged in intermittent exchanges of fire, making these talks a significant development in the ongoing diplomatic tension.
