US President Donald Trump says talks with Iran may resume this week after rejecting Tehran's proposal

On Sunday, US President Donald Trump said he expects talks with Iran to resume in the coming week, after rejecting a truce proposal from Tehran. The talks, mediated by Qatar, could start as early as Monday. Trump told Axios that Iran wants a deal but not the one he wants. The discussions follow indirect talks between US envoys and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in New York. The conflict centers on the Strait of Hormuz, where Iran has asserted control and the US has imposed a blockade. Trump also said he is always thinking about resuming strikes on Iran.
