Trump expects Iran talks next week after rejecting seven-day truce proposal

President Donald Trump said Sunday he expects talks with Iran to resume next week, despite rejecting Tehran's proposal for a seven-day truce followed by the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Trump dismissed the plan, which was presented at the UN General Assembly, and has raised the possibility of renewed air strikes on Iran. However, he told Axios that negotiations are anticipated, with indirect talks possibly occurring as early as Monday. Iran's conditions for reopening the strait include lifting sanctions, releasing frozen assets, and ending the US naval blockade, which Washington called unacceptable. Iran also seized an American submersible drone in the strait on Sunday, citing espionage.
