Iran war live: Trump says he did not offer Tehran sanctions relief
US President Trump rejects a news report claiming his administration offered Iran sanctions relief and frozen funds.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that Tehran held further indirect talks with Washington through Qatari mediators. According to Araghchi, Iran is waiting for an official reply from the US, which is expected by Tuesday.
The talks are part of a renewed effort to end seven months of war, which began in late February with US and Israeli attacks on Iran. The conflict has resulted in thousands of deaths and disrupted global markets, particularly affecting oil traffic in vital waterways such as the Strait of Hormuz.
Araghchi, who is in New York after attending the United Nations General Assembly, stated that Iran has presented a solution for a peaceful resolution and is awaiting the US response to its latest ceasefire proposals and conditions for restoring passage of maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. The US and Iran have previously agreed to ceasefires in April and June, but those agreements quickly unraveled.
