Tehran expressed optimism about restoring a recently collapsed ceasefire agreement in the Gulf. Iranian officials stated that both nations largely agree on the necessary steps, though they disagree on the sequence in which to implement them. The US withdrawal from Iraq was hailed as a historic victory by Washington. President Trump indicated on Wednesday that the US had "virtually total control" over the Strait of Hormuz, highlighting that more oil had been exported through the waterway in the past three days than ever before.
Initially, Trump rejected the proposal, but an Iranian government spokesperson later claimed that Araghchi conveyed a US response to Tehran. Qatar acted as mediators between US and Iranian envoys in New York. Both sides claim victory in the US-led coalition's mission in Iraq, which concluded earlier this year. Iran seeks control over the strategic Strait of Hormuz, while demanding the removal of US troops from the region.
