It pivots responsibility: Iran blames prior breaches, while US-linked coverage brands the offer as bad faith.
Talks Denied, Mediation Continues
Iran’s official stance rejected a new round of U.S.-Iran negotiations, with IRNA quoting a source close to the Iranian delegation in New York for the United Nations General Assembly meetings saying the delegation “does not intend to engage in negotiations with the United States.” Iran said it informed the American side through a Qatari mediator last Tuesday of its positions and conditions, and it said it was “awaiting a response from Washington.” Donald Trump told Axios he expects American negotiators to hold more talks with Iran during the current week after he rejected an Iranian proposal to reopen the Hormuz Strait within seven days.
Qatari mediation continued as the two sides exchanged messages, and the sources described separate contacts with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and the U.S. envoy Stet (Steven) Whitcove? (likely Whitlock) as expected for Monday. Araghchi told NBC that Iran still wants a diplomatic solution and is ready to negotiate, while Iran said it is also prepared to face any new attack.
Hormuz, Oil, and Injuries
Trump rejected Tehran’s proposal to reopen the Hormuz Strait within seven days in exchange for U.S. steps including lifting the naval blockade and sanctions on oil sales and resuming a ceasefire in the region.
Oil prices rose after the rejection, with Brent crude up more than 3% on Monday trading, exceeding $101 per barrel.
NBC reported that eight U.S. Marines were injured in a missile attack by Iran targeting a vessel in the Hormuz Strait on September 14, and the network said the eight soldiers returned to duty shortly after the incident.
IRNA quoted Revolutionary Guards spokesperson Brigadier General Hossein Mahabi saying the Hormuz Strait is not only not closed but is a place for targeting U.S. submarines, after the Guards seized a second U.S. submarine.
The dispute over negotiations centered on sequencing, with Tehran wanting reopening of Hormuz tied to easing military and economic pressure while the Trump administration demanded Iranian concessions on the nuclear issue.
Conditions, Threats, and Stakes
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran’s conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz remain unchanged, and he said only negotiations can resolve the standoff.
Araghchi told NBC that “We are ready to negotiate as much as we are ready to face any challenge,” and he said Iran does not care about U.S. election timing.
Trump said he expects more talks with Iran this week, telling Axios, “I expect more talks with Iran [this week].”
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz rejected the Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and described it as a “quite cynical” attempt to present conditions Tehran knew Washington would not accept.
The Hill said Trump told reporters on Saturday that negotiators from the Islamic Republic “want to make a deal where they open” the Strait of Hormuz “immediately,” while the Iranian side insisted it would not back down from its conditions.
