Iran Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in New York

por Not A Charm: Abbas Araghchi

Abbas Araghchi just touched down in New York after routing through Qatar, a path Tehran deliberately picked to relay conditions to Washington for ending the war. Those terms are specific: halt attacks, unfreeze assets, and lift the blockade. Donald Trump told Fox on Sunday he might meet Iran's president while leaders are in town, marking the first time since February that both sides fighting this conflict share the same city with only the UN building between them. Tehran's choice to go through Doha wasn't accidental given the stakes. Potential negotiations could happen in Manhattan before November, but if nothing moves forward, the next phase may involve military action. Meanwhile, Trump met Gulf leaders the day after Araghchi's arrival, setting the stage for what happens next. #AbbasAraghchi
