Corrected from Bbc: “U.S. and Iran officials meet in New York to discuss ending the war”
The original Axios report titled the meeting as one to discuss ending the war. In fact the three-hour session was requested by the U.S. to receive Iran's conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, which include lifting the naval blockade and releasing frozen assets. Multiple outlets repeated the broader framing while the specific purpose and Iran's demands were detailed only in the body.
