Israeli media: The US and Iran communicated messages through Qatar, with no consensus reached on the Strait of Hormuz issue
BlockBeats News,September 24, according to a report by Israel’s Channel 12, US negotiators rejected Iran’s proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz during indirect talks held on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, telling Tehran that Iran does not control the waterway and questioning its standing to make such a proposal. Channel 12 further disclosed details of the talks, saying that US envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were in one room, while Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was in another, with the two sides conveying messages back and forth through Qatari mediators.
According to a report by Channel 12 citing people familiar with the matter, more indirect talks may be held before the close of the United Nations General Assembly, but mediators are waiting for Trump to decide whether to continue the process or pursue other avenues. (Jinshi)
