Iranian president says country wants deal with US made before midterms
- On Thursday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that Tehran is willing to strike a deal with the United States before the November midterms, countering President Donald Trump's claim that Iran is waiting until after the polls.
- Pezeshkian took a defiant stand at the General Assembly in New York on Wednesday, asserting Iran would not "bend at the knee" to Washington, even as Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met with Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff regarding ongoing talks.
- Blaming instigations by Israel for the ongoing war, Pezeshkian stated that America must choose whether it wants to end the conflict, emphasizing dialogue over violence.
- Pezeshkian denied Tehran directs Houthi actions, stating "The Houthis are responsible for their own actions," and maintained there is "no systematic relationship" between the Iranian government and the group's regional activities.
- Washington and allies including Saudi Arabia accuse Iran of backing the Houthi movement, which is battling for control of Yemen and targeting ships in the Red Sea, threatening fuel shipments through the Gulf.
