US and Iran to hold new round of indirect talks in Qatar on Monday
The US and Iran will resume indirect negotiations in Qatar on Monday, amid Iranian warnings to ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
US President Donald Trump expects talks with Iran to resume. According to Gulf News, Trump said he anticipates negotiations will start in the coming week. This comes after he rejected a truce proposal from Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
The proposal was put forward by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who also stated that his country is fully prepared for the conflict with the US to resume if Trump authorizes new strikes on the regime after the November midterm elections, as reported by The Hill.
Trump mentioned that Iran wants to make a deal, but it's not the one he is willing to make, describing it as something that could have been agreed upon a year ago. He also stated that Iran's leaders want a deal because "they are losing so badly" and that "they overplayed their hand". According to Gulf News, indirect talks between Washington and Tehran could take place as early as Monday, facilitated by Qatari mediators.
