US, Iran set to hold separate talks with mediators on Monday or Tuesday, official says

Qatari mediators are set to hold separate talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and the US side on Monday or Tuesday. These talks are part of a fresh effort to end the war. According to Al-Monitor, the discussions will focus on an amended version of a seven-day proposal presented by Iran on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.

The talks come as pressure ramps up on Tehran, with the US reportedly seeking to extract nuclear concessions from the Islamic Republic. The US had previously rejected Iran's bid to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which was part of a ceasefire proposal that included a phased reopening.

President Trump has stated that he expects talks with Iran to continue this week, following the rejection of the ceasefire proposal. The amended proposal will be the focus of the upcoming talks, according to the Jerusalem Post and Al-Monitor.
