Trump rejects Iran's proposal, expects further talks

President Donald Trump rejected Iran's proposal to end the war and stated he expects further negotiations between American and Iranian negotiators. Trump made the remarks in a Sunday phone interview with Axios, as reported by European Pravda. Qatar and other regional mediators are trying to restart talks, but both sides' positions remain far apart on key issues. Trump said Iran wants a deal, but not the one he wants, adding that Tehran overestimated its capabilities. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on NBC that Tehran still seeks a diplomatic solution despite Trump's rejection. Two regional sources confirmed talks will continue next week, with another round of indirect dialogue expected Monday. Iran had proposed reopening the Strait of Hormuz and resuming nuclear talks in exchange for lifting the naval blockade, oil sanctions, and a regional ceasefire.
