Trump says Iran talks likely to resume this week

timesofindia.indiatimes.com —

US President Donald Trump said Sunday he expects talks with Iran to resume this week, a day after rejecting a truce proposal from Tehran, stating, "They want to make a deal, but it is not the deal that I want to make." Iran submitted a proposal Friday to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but Trump dismissed it, claiming Iranian leaders sought the deal because "they are losing so badly" and had "overplayed their hand." Axios reported indirect talks could occur Monday via Qatari mediators. Trump told Axios the proposal resembled one "we would have maybe agreed to a year ago," suggesting a shift in leverage. The fresh negotiations would mark the latest effort to address regional tensions.
