Trump open to Iran talks but won't rule out strikes

President Donald Trump has left open the possibility of renewed negotiations with Iran in the coming days, while also not ruling out further military strikes, stating he is "still thinking about it" regarding potential attacks. Trump told Axios he expects talks with Tehran to resume next week, but rejected Iran's recent offer to reopen the Strait of Hormuz for seven days, saying the proposal does not match the terms his administration seeks. He noted Iran misjudged its position but that negotiations remain possible. Indirect contacts between Washington and Tehran could begin as soon as Monday, September 28, facilitated by Qatari mediators, following recent indirect discussions at the UN General Assembly involving US envoys and Iran's foreign minister.
