According to Witkoff, mediators have been moving between the two parties all day.
According to Iranian state media, Iran has set certain demands for Witkoff in order to agree to open the Strait of Hormuz. Among other things, it demands that the US lift the blockade against the country's ports.
US President Donald Trump said in a speech to the General Assembly on Tuesday that he was facing "a big decision":
Will a deal be made with Iran that allows them to rebuild and create a much greater country than it has ever been before?
Or should I destroy the Islamic Republic and do it quickly?
However, Trump said he believes an agreement will be reached after the US midterm elections in November.
