US President Donald Trump announced he expects talks with Iran to resume this week, despite having previously rejected Iran's latest proposal aimed at ending the ongoing war in the region, according to BBC Arabic.
This development comes as Iranian officials await a formal response to their proposal through international intermediaries, while the strategic Strait of Hormuz remains a point of contention between the two sides following Washington's rejection of Iran's proposal to open it.
Meanwhile, other fronts in the region are watching for any possible path leading to a ceasefire, amid anticipation about the trajectory of upcoming negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
Tehran has not yet issued an official comment on Trump's latest statements, as observers watch whether the anticipated talks will yield tangible progress on the outstanding issues between the two countries.
