US and Iran to Discuss Revised Peace Plan via Mediators

The United States and Iran are expected to hold mediated talks in New York on Monday to discuss a revised seven-day peace plan, according to a source familiar with the negotiations. The talks aim to end the ongoing conflict. Qatari mediators will likely hold separate meetings with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and the American side. The revised plan includes a ceasefire in Iran and Lebanon, unfreezing assets, and lifting oil sanctions in exchange for Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz. President Donald Trump previously rejected the initial Iranian offer but now expects continued contact this week. Iran says it has not officially received a US refusal and insists that any steps to resume Strait of Hormuz operations depend on its conditions being met.
