# US president Donald Trump’s envoy, Steve Witkoff, has confirmed he held talks with the Iranian delegation through Qatari mediators on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. This comes after Trump threatened to annihilate Tehran if a deal to end the war is not reached, or to help the country rebuild. Witkoff says he hopes the discussions will prove constructive. The Iranian Foreign Ministry says the mediator communicated Tehran’s conditions, including an end to the war and US acts of aggression.
