Corrected from The Hill: “Bipartisan senators raised US journalist jailed in Iran ahead of Trump team meeting with Iranian delegation at UN”
The Hill reported that a bipartisan group of senators sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio about Reza Valizadeh one day before U.S. officials indirectly talked with Iranian officials in New York. The original title framed this as a Trump team meeting with an Iranian delegation at the UN. The details show indirect talks by unnamed U.S. officials rather than a direct meeting involving the Trump team.

The letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio was sent one day before U.S. officials indirectly talked with Iranian officials in New York. Reza Valizadeh, the 49-year-old dual Iranian-American citizen and journalist, is the focus of the bipartisan effort. This timeline appears in The Hill reporting.
NYT and ABC News covered President Trump's U.N. General Assembly remarks on striking a deal with Iran or taking other action. CBS News reported reactions from Masih Alinejad to those comments. Headlines from multiple outlets reversed the order between the senators' letter and the contacts.
The Hill article states the letter preceded the indirect talks by one day. Ed O'Keefe contributed to related CBS coverage on the same events.
