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.
U.S. President Donald Trump forecast that talks with Iran will restart in the forthcoming week, notwithstanding his refusal to a truce proposal presented by Tehran. Iranian representatives brought a blueprint for a seven-day respite followed by the reactivation of the Strait of Hormuz shipping channel to the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
Trump dismissed the plan and has contemplated restoring all-out air assaults on Iranian targets, but he informed the news outlet Axios that he anticipates negotiations to commence. He expressed that they seek to forge a deal, but it is not the deal I would have agreed to a year ago. Trump labeled Iran's overreach in the interview published on Sunday.
According to sources familiar with the situation, Axios reported that informal discussions between Washington and Tehran might commence as early as Monday. On Sunday, Iran continued to uphold its stipulations for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, leaving the Gulf sector of the Middle Eastern conflict in a deadlock, while hostilities persist in Yemen. Iran steadfastly declares, "We will not back down Horm".
