Trump advisor and Tesla boss Elon Musk has had a meeting with Iran’s UN ambassador in New York at his own request, The New York Times reports.
Two anonymous Iranian officials said the hour-long meeting between Musk and Amir Saeid Iravani was about ways to reduce tensions between the US and Iran. The meeting was positive and “good news”, according to the Iranian sources.
Donald Trump’s staff does not comment on whether a meeting took place, nor does Elon Musk.
