Sept 24 (Reuters) – US and Iranian negotiators in New York are exploring a phased path out of war that would involve Tehran reopening the Strait of Hormuz and Washington lifting its economic blockade of Iran, sources close to the talks said.

The strait has become the central bargaining chip in efforts to end the nearly seven-month US-Iran conflict, with Iran seeking relief from the US blockade that is choking its economy and Washington seeking free passage for ships on the global oil supply route now blocked by Tehran.

The talks face a big obstacle as neither side wants to be the first to surrender its leverage, according to comments to Reuters by two Iranian sources, two regional officials and two Western diplomatic sources, but behind Iran‘s stance is a recognition of the economic cost of prolonged confrontation.

A senior Iranian official said the most plausible way to end the impasse would be a phased arrangement, with Iran allowing navigation through Hormuz in return for the US lifting its economic blockade and Tehran potentially gaining access to frozen assets.

“One way forward would be to solve the crisis in stages. The first would be to end the blockade and reopen Hormuz,” he said on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.

DUBAI/RIYADH, Sept 24 (Reuters) – Iranian flights to the Persian Gulf neighbors including travel hub Dubai appeared to have been cancelled on Thursday after a US deadline passed for global firms to halt work with Iran‘s airlines, a major step in a campaign President Donald Trump calls “economic D-Day”.

In Saudi Arabia, where an escalating conflict with Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi fighters this month has become the main front in the wider Middle East war, authorities said they had intercepted six ballistic missiles fired by the Houthis.

With the US-Israeli war against Iran largely stalemated for months on the battlefield, Washington has announced a shift in tactics to extend the reach of its financial sanctions by targeting companies from third countries that do business with Iranian firms, a practice known as “secondary sanctions”.

Trump referred to the new strategy last month as “economic D-Day”, comparing it to the assault on Nazi-controlled France in World War Two by the United States and its allies.

The US Treasury had set September 23 as the deadline for companies worldwide to comply with an order to stop doing business with Iranian airlines. Washington says the aim is to ground the entire global Iranian civilian fleet.

Iran threatened on Wednesday to retaliate against any neighbouring countries that comply with the US ban on its flights, by making their airports “unusable”.

There were no immediate public announcements from countries that they were halting flights, but Iran‘s ISNA news agency said all flights to the United Arab Emirates, the Persian Gulf’s biggest travel hub, had been halted as of midnight.

No arrivals or departures to Iran were visible on the website of Dubai or Abu Dhabi airports on Thursday. Websites of at least two Iranian airlines, Qeshm and Varesh, showed UAE flights had been cancelled. The UAE’s General Civil Aviation Authority and Dubai Civil Aviation Authority did not respond to requests for comment.

UNMUTE 🔊 By Katty Biglari Sept. 23 - Shadi Yousef

UNMUTE 🔊
By Katty Biglari
Sept. 23 - Shadi Yousefian is a multi-disciplinary Iranian-born artist who has channeled the emotions of a generation of Iranians in exile into an extensive body of work.

Yousefian joined Kayhan Life for a recent conversation.

The first series that you produced were self-portraits. Describe your state of mind at the time.

When I created the Self-Portraits series, I felt caught between my Iranian past and a new Western identity. I no longer felt that I fully belonged to either place. I expressed this fragmented identity by cutting and collaging negatives into new compositions, using the process to reflect my experience of living with a “double identity.”

Sept 23 (Reuters) – Ukrainian Foreign Minister And

Sept 23 (Reuters) – Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said on Wednesday he discussed ways of keeping tension in check at a meeting with his Iranian counterpart, Abbas Araqchi.

Sybiha said on X the meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York was a follow-up to a telephone conversation the two held in July.

In more ‌than 4-1/2 years of conflict with Russia, Ukraine has faced barrages of Iranian-designed drones. Kyiv has over that time developed technology to counter drone threats and ‌offered its assistance to Middle Eastern countries facing strikes by Tehran.

“Diplomacy is about direct conversation, even in challenging circumstances,” Sybiha wrote.

“Our conversation focused on mutual steps to prevent further aggravation of tensions between our countries. We agreed to keep existing channels of communication open.”

Sybiha said the two ministers exchanged views on the situation in the Middle East and Europe “as well as various tracks of ongoing peace efforts”.

“I reiterated Ukraine’s position in support of a sooner restoration of peace and stability in both our regions.”

The two men spoke in July after a Ukrainian drone strike on an Iranian ship which killed one sailor and injured another.

Iran denounced the attack and threatened retaliation. Sybiha said then that he asked Araqchi to refrain from any escalatory steps and to end any support for Russia’s war against Ukraine.

REPOSTED from Dr. Parmis Khatibi: “Geopolitical co

REPOSTED from Dr. Parmis Khatibi: “Geopolitical conflict was one of the defining conversations at the
UNGA and Concordia’s Annual Summit this week in NYC.
Few issues are more consequential to regional and global stability than the future of Iran and the actions of the Islamic Republic.
I was deeply grateful to invite Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi to the Concordia Summit and to have him accept that invitation to speak about his vision for a secular, democratic Iran with an international audience.
My thanks to Matt and the entire Concordia team for creating space for this important conversation.
A conversation about Iran is not only a conversation about Iran. It is a conversation about regional security, global stability, energy, and the future of the Middle East.”
