Trump expects U.S.-Iran talks this week after rejecting Tehran proposal

President Trump told Axios he expects U.S. negotiators to engage in more talks with Iran this week, one day after rejecting an Iranian proposal to end the war. Qatar and other regional mediators are trying to revive negotiations, but the two sides remain far apart: Iran wants to focus on the Strait of Hormuz and the U.S. naval blockade, while the U.S. demands nuclear concessions. The claim is based on Trump's direct statement, corroborated by two regional sources, but the outcome of talks is uncertain.
