Elon Musk's Unexpected Meeting with Iran's UN Ambassador

Elon Musk met with Iran's UN ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani in New York to discuss easing tensions between the US and Iran, a day before being appointed joint head of Donald Trump's new cost-cutting department. The meeting, which was not officially acknowledged by Trump's team, provided a diplomatic workaround as the US lacks formal relations with Iran. The discussion was described positively by Iranian officials, while the White House and Iranian mission to the UN declined to comment. Musk's involvement comes amid his recent advisory role in Trump's administration and his support for Ukraine through Starlink.
