U.S. President Donald Trump said on September 22 that talks between the United States and Iran were continuing and that he believed the two sides could eventually reach a settlement.
Trump made the comments in New York during the United Nations General Assembly. According to Reuters, he said U.S. and Iranian representatives were still communicating and suggested that a deal could be reached.
Trump also reiterated that the United States would not allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon.
The comments came as tensions between Washington and Tehran remained high. The situation is being closely watched because developments in the region could also affect oil markets and global energy supplies.
The Associated Press reported that U.S. and Iranian officials held a meeting on Tuesday on the sidelines of the U.N. gathering. Trump described the meeting as positive but provided limited details about what was discussed.
For now, no final agreement between the United States and Iran has been announced.
Stay tuned for the latest updates on U.S. foreign policy, Iran, the Middle East, and global markets.
