Iran Sets Conditions for Talks with US; EU Presses US on Palestinian Visas

In September 2026, Iran sent the United States a list of seven conditions for restarting negotiations, including an end to the war, according to Iranian officials. A deputy foreign minister said the US cannot avoid responsibility for war crimes in Iran by leaving the UN Human Rights Council, and another official said Iran is ready to return to talks if the US convinces Tehran of its sincerity.

Separately, the European Union urged the US to reconsider its denial of visas for a Palestinian delegation to a UN meeting. The dispute centers on Palestinian officials' participation in the UN General Assembly.
