US President Donald Trump said he expects more talks with Iran this week. According to Axios, Trump told the news platform that he anticipates negotiations to resume, despite having rejected a truce proposal put forward by Tehran. The proposal, which included a seven-day truce followed by the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz shipping channel, was dismissed by Trump.
Trump said that Iran wants to make a deal, but it is not the deal that he wants to make. He also stated that Iran "overplayed their hand". According to Malay Mail, indirect talks between Washington and Tehran could take place as early as Monday.
The conflict between the US and Iran has been ongoing for nearly seven months, with the Strait of Hormuz being a key chokepoint for the world's energy supplies. Iran has stood by its conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, leaving the situation in a stalemate.
