Although US President Donald Trump publicly rejected Iran's latest proposal, mediators are reportedly continuing their efforts to secure an agreement between the two countries.
Diplomatic Contacts Continue
Regional officials and a senior US official stated that mediators continue to work with the parties in order to end the clashes and open the Strait of Hormuz.
As the conflict, which damages the global economy and negatively impacts Iran, enters its eighth month, indirect talks were expected to resume on Monday.
Conditions Offered by Iran
The Tehran administration had offered to open the strait within a week if the US lifts the blockade on ports, releases frozen assets, and abandons sanctions on oil sales.
It was stated that despite US President Donald Trump publicly announcing that he rejected this proposal by Iran, diplomatic initiatives behind the scenes continue.
Future of the Talks and Expectations
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that he remained in New York after the UN General Assembly meetings, awaiting a clear response from the mediators.
During the process mediated by Qatar, a US official noted that Trump is open to a non-military solution, but there are doubts as to whether Iran will accept the conditions.
