US, Iran set to hold separate talks with mediators on Monday or Tuesday, official says
Mediators are seeking a deal that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and ease sanctions as the conflict enters its eighth month, officials said.
- On Monday, Qatari mediators scheduled separate consultations in New York with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and Washington's representatives to examine an amended seven-day proposal presented at the United Nations General Assembly.
- The seven-day plan envisages ending hostilities in Iran and Lebanon while unfreezing Iranian assets; Tehran conditions the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz on lifting oil sanctions and Washington's naval blockade.
- President Donald Trump publicly rejected the proposal on Saturday, citing economic pressure on Tehran, though Araqchi stated on Sunday that Tehran has yet to receive formal notification of this decision from mediators.
- Although Trump told Axios on Sunday that he expects further negotiations this week, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei noted that Araqchi's schedule remains unchanged, and it remains unclear who will represent Washington.
- Both sides plan to "examine the latest proposals and views regarding the current situation," as the ongoing indirect talks represent a fresh attempt to resolve the impasse through the seven-day ceasefire framework.
