Iran: Trump says he expects further talks with Tehran as early as this week

(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor) - US President Donald Trump expects negotiators in Washington to begin new talks with their Iranian counterparts as early as this week, following the breakdown of negotiations in recent days. This was stated by the President himself in a telephone interview with Axios. Only yesterday, Trump had rejected Tehran’s proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz for seven days.

According to reports from international news agencies, Trump emphasised in the interview that the deal sought by Iran could have been accepted by the United States a year ago.

Tehran has stated that it is still awaiting an official response from Washington regarding the latest proposal and that it has no intention of changing its position.
