Iran sought a meeting with Elon Musk in an apparent effort to ease tensions with President-elect Donald Trump. The meeting took place in New York and covered various topics, including Iran's nuclear program, support for anti-Israel groups, and prospects for improved relations with the United States. No immediate decisions were made during the meeting.
The Trump transition team did not confirm or deny the meeting. Iran's U.N. mission declined to comment on the matter. This outreach from Iran comes as Trump announces key foreign policy picks who are expected to take a tough stance on Iran.
