Trump expects more Iran talks this week, citing Qatari mediation

arabnews.com —

President Donald Trump told Axios he expects additional US-Iran talks this week, as Qatari mediators work to bridge differences over the Strait of Hormuz, naval restrictions, and Iran’s nuclear program. Trump said Iran wants a deal but that its proposal is not what he would accept, noting he rejected an offer to reopen the strait in exchange for lifting the naval blockade. Indirect negotiations resumed last Tuesday in New York, with Qatar shuttling messages between US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. Iranian officials said they await a definitive US response through mediators, though no new talks are planned on their agenda. Trump said he remains open to military strikes, while US officials reported 22 million barrels of oil passed through the strait on Friday night.
