However, no formal encounter has been scheduled yet.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>The official said a potential meeting could instead involve some of Trump&#8217;s top advisers travelling with him in New York. Internal discussions have focused on whether such a meeting could help the administration find a way to end the US war with Iran.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>There is also uncertainty within the US administration over whether the Iranian diplomats in New York have the backing of Iran&#8217;s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, who has the final say on major matters, the official told CNN.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>It also remains unclear whether Iranian officials would agree to meet their US counterparts.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>Iran&#8217;s scaled-down delegation at the UN General Assembly includes foreign minister Abbas Araghchi and President Masoud Pezeshkian.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>Both US secretary of state Marco Rubio and US ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz have said Trump remains \u201copen\u201d to talks with Iranian representatives.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>Waltz told CNN\u2019s Kaitlan Collins on Wednesday that Trump \u201cis always open\u201d to discussions.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>\u201cThat\u2019s a question I wish you could ask the Iranians is, will they sit down directly with us? And who is speaking for the ayatollah? That\u2019s been a continuous issue,\u201d Waltz said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>Asked whether Trump planned to meet Pezeshkian in New York, Rubio said Washington was receptive to the possibility, although no meeting had been formally scheduled.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>&#8220;We\u2019re open to that. I don\u2019t think anything is scheduled at this point, but we\u2019re certainly open to something like that, especially if it has the prospects of leading to something positive,&#8221; Rubio said in an interview with US broadcaster NBC.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>Rubio also reiterated Washington&#8217;s position on Iran&#8217;s nuclear programme, saying the central objective of any diplomatic engagement was to ensure that Tehran never obtains a nuclear weapon.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>&#8220;And that is the fact that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon. They just simply can\u2019t,&#8221; Rubio said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>Neither Washington nor Tehran has confirmed that a face-to-face meeting between Trump and Pezeshkian has been arranged.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/>The possibility of a meeting comes as the nearly seven-month-old US-Iran conflict continues, with both sides issuing warnings amid the lack of a resolution.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/>Trump said on Monday that Iran faced choices including &#8220;wiping Iran out,&#8221; allowing its economy to &#8220;rot&#8221; or reaching a deal. <!-- -->He also said he remained in &#8220;deciding mode&#8221; over Washington&#8217;s next steps.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"39\"\/>&#8220;My question is, if and when do I blow the entire nation up,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;They better behave.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"41\"\/>Iran, meanwhile, has warned that any fresh US military action could widen the conflict.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"44\"\/>Hossein Mohebbi, spokesperson for Iran&#8217;s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said Tehran would change both its weapons and the geographical scope of the conflict if Washington launched another attack.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"47\"\/>&#8220;If a new aggression takes place, we will definitely change the weapons and geography of the war,&#8221; Mohebbi said, according to Iran&#8217;s semi-official Fars news agency.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"49\"\/>Trump on Tuesday addressed UN General Assembly, while his Iranian counterpart Pezeshkian is also expected in New York.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"51\"\/>The gathering could provide an opportunity for direct contact between Washington and Tehran, even as uncertainty remains over whether such a meeting will take place.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
