TEHRAN: “America must declare its desire to resolve the issue diplomatically, and then agree on a timetable to move forward with this process,” stated the Iranian official, adding that the Iranian delegation participating in the UN General Assembly meetings in New York has full authority to revive the diplomatic track with the United States.
The official explained that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, who left Tehran for New York today, will not hold a meeting with US President Donald Trump at the United Nations headquarters in New York.
The official indicated that details of an agreement to end hostilities could be discussed with Washington in New York through intermediaries, and stated that Tehran had submitted its proposal in this regard to the American side through intermediaries on September 16.

The official said, “The UN General Assembly meetings are a golden opportunity for the United States to return to diplomacy,” adding that Tehran would welcome a revival of diplomacy if Washington took concrete steps.
The comments came two days after Iran’s military central command said it had received information that the United States was preparing to resume military operations with the support of regional countries. It warned that any such move would trigger a retaliatory response from Tehran.
