President Trump says he is open to meeting Iran's president at the United Nations General Assembly

President Donald Trump said he is open to meeting Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian at the United Nations General Assembly in New York this week. The comments came as Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen attacked targets in Saudi Arabia, and as shipping through key straits declined. Trump also said he was in a "deciding mode" regarding big actions. The potential meeting raised hopes for de-escalation in a conflict that has disrupted oil markets and fueled inflation. Oil prices fell on Monday as talks seemed possible.
