Elon Musk met Iranian UN envoy in bid to defuse tensions under Trump — report

[IsraelTimes]
The second Trump administration is certainly going to be interesting. Elon Musk, the tech billionaire closely allied with US President-elect Donald Trump
...So far he's been unkillable, and they've tried....
, met Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations
...where theory meets practice and practice loses...
in a bid to defuse tensions between Tehran and Washington, The New York Times
...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
reported Thursday.
The newspaper quoted anonymous Iranian sources as describing the meeting between the world’s richest person and Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani as "positive."
The two met for more than an hour at a secret location on Monday, the newspaper said.
Neither the Trump transition team nor Iran’s mission to the United Nations immediately confirmed the encounter, with the Iranian mission saying it had no comment.
The meeting, if confirmed, could offer an early indication that Trump is serious about diplomacy with Iran
 ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both.

, instead pursuing a policy of "maximum pressure" that included working to force other nations not to buy Iran’s oil.
But Trump has cast himself as a great dealmaker and during his latest campaign has voiced an openness to diplomacy, despite his avowed support for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, one of whose Likud party allies said Wednesday that Israel is expecting the president-elect to take a hard line on Iran.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, considered a relative moderate within the holy manal state, on Thursday told the visiting head of the UN nuclear watchdog that Tehran wanted to clear up doubts about the country’s "peaceful" nuclear program.
Iran’s ambassador also urged Musk in their meeting to seek US sanctions exemptions and conduct business in Tehran, the Times said, citing an Iranian Foreign Ministry official.
