UN GATE, Sept 16 –   In the run-up to UN General Assembly week, US State Department official Michele Sison held a press briefing on September 16.

 She took just three questions, the last of which was if Secretary Antony Blinken will meet with Iran. It was not answered.  But it was said Blinken will meet with ministers from the 'Stans, and with the GCC including about Iran.

 On September 15 Inner City Press, banned from the UN, reported on a torture lawsuit filed against Iran's Raisi.

It wanted to ask about that, about the South Sudan UN Ambassador who recently raped in NYC then left the country with impunity, what the State Department has done on that and on ensuring UN access for independent Press. An application is pending with UN MALU.  

Earlier, Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield did a closed briefing in UN, answer state media questions including from Turkey's Andalou and seeming to praise China. Again, nothing done. Watch this site.
