On September 27, according to Axios, one day after rejecting Iran's proposal to end the war, U.S. President Trump stated that he expects American negotiators to engage in more talks with Iran this week. Qatar and other regional mediators are attempting to restart U.S.-Iran negotiations, but there are significant differences between the two sides on key issues. While Iran hopes to focus the negotiations on the Strait of Hormuz and the U.S. maritime blockade, the Trump administration is demanding concessions from Iran on nuclear issues. Two regional sources confirmed Trump's statement about more talks this week. They anticipate that indirect dialogue between the U.S. and Iran could begin as early as Monday, but it remains unclear whether the differences can be bridged. Trump said, 'I expect to have more talks with Iran this week. They want to make a deal, but it’s not the deal I want to make. That might be a deal we would have agreed to a year ago. They miscalculated, and they are asking for too much.'
