Elon Musk secretly met with Iran’s ambassador to the U.N. in New York Monday to discuss how to defuse tensions between Tehran and the U.S. That’s according to The New York Times, citing two unnamed Iranian officials. The Trump campaign has refused to comment.

Meanwhile, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency visited Tehran Thursday, seeking to restore U.N. inspectors’ access to Iran’s nuclear program. Iran cut off access last year and has abandoned limits on its nuclear activities since former President Trump in 2018 unilaterally withdrew the U.S. from the Iran nuclear deal, known as the JCPOA. On Thursday, the head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization said Iran would not succumb to pressure from the second Trump administration.

Mohammad Eslami: “The Islamic Republic of Iran has been the only party to the nuclear agreement that has unilaterally and with complete goodwill fulfilled all its commitments within the JCPOA for one-and-a-half years. It has been the other party that has not acted on its commitments, has withdrawn from the pact and has not allowed others to cooperate, and has also imposed much harsher sanctions against the Iranian people and the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
