U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States and Iran were continuing talks during the United Nations General Assembly and predicted that the two countries would eventually reach a settlement.
Trump made the remarks after meeting British Prime Minister Andy Burnham in New York, saying communication with Tehran had continued during the day.
The president described the developing contact as a sign that Iran wanted dialogue, although he offered no detailed timetable or outline for a possible agreement.
Trump maintained that the United States would not permit Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon and said Iranian officials understood that condition.
The comments followed months of conflict and intermittent negotiations, with previous efforts to establish an interim arrangement collapsing during the summer.
Iranian officials have described the UN gathering as an opportunity to revive diplomacy while demanding reduced military pressure and relief from restrictions affecting ports and trade.
Major obstacles remain, including the nuclear dispute, sanctions, regional military operations and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, but renewed contact could provide a channel for de-escalation.
