Indirect US-Iran Talks Expected in New York as Khamenei Warns American Forces

Qatari mediators are likely to hold separate talks with Iranian and US representatives in New York on Monday or Tuesday, in a fresh effort to end the war, according to an official familiar with the negotiations.

The anticipated meetings would involve Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and, separately, the American side. The proposed format would allow mediation without direct talks between Washington and Tehran.

The schedule remains tentative, with the official describing the meetings as likely rather than confirmed. No details were provided about the US participants or the proposals under discussion.

The diplomatic effort comes as Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, said American forces “will be forced to leave the Arabian Sea.”

His warning underscored the tensions surrounding the prospective talks, whose outcome remains uncertain.
