US, Iran separately talk with mediators in latest bid to end war

U.S. and Iranian officials spoke separately with mediators on Monday in a renewed bid to end seven months of war. Further talks are expected to center on an amended version of Iran’s seven-day proposal, which includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz and restarting nuclear talks. The war began in late February with U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran, and earlier April and June ceasefire agreements quickly unraveled.

Iran’s seven-day plan would also freeze billions of dollars in Iranian assets and end sanctions on Iranian oil.

The proposal calls for lifting the U.S. blockade on Iranian ports before the Strait of Hormuz is reopened.

Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araqchi, said Iran was waiting for Washington’s response to its latest ceasefire proposals and conditions.

Donald Trump said U.S. officials separately spoke with mediators on Monday and said he expected further talks this week.

U.S. and Iranian officials spoke separately with mediators on Monday as part of a renewed effort to end seven months of war, according to officials of both countries.

Any further talks are expected to focus on an amended version of a seven-day proposal that Iran presented last week on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, an official briefed on the negotiations told Reuters.

The war began in late February with U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran, killing thousands of people over seven months and shocking global markets as vital waterways for oil remained choked. The U.S. and Iran have twice previously agreed to ceasefires in mediated peace talks, in April and June. Those agreements quickly unraveled.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, who remained in New York after attending the General Assembly, said Iran expected to receive the U.S. response to its latest ceasefire proposals and its conditions for restoring passage of maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, according to state news agency IRNA.

"If the Americans claim they are seeking an agreement or a peaceful solution, we have presented that solution," Araqchi said.

U.S. officials separately spoke with mediators on Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters at the White House, without giving further details.

Trump has flagged further talks this week

Iran's seven-day plan envisages an end to all hostilities in Iran and Lebanon, the unfreezing of billions of dollars' worth of Iranian assets, an end to sanctions on Iranian oil and the lifting of the U.S. blockade on Iranian ports.

Iran would then allow the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital conduit for oil tankers, and the two sides would also resume talks on Iran's nuclear program and Trump's wish to seize or eliminate its highly enriched uranium.

Trump said on Saturday he had rejected Iran's proposal, saying Iran wanted a swift agreement because of the crippling economic pressure it is under. However, he also told Axios on Sunday that he expected U.S. negotiators to engage in further talks this week.

Araqchi said on Sunday that mediators had not formally conveyed a U.S. rejection, and that Iran was awaiting Washington's definitive position before deciding its next steps.

"Our conditions are clear, and any move toward reopening the Strait of Hormuz is contingent on these conditions being met," he said on Sunday, adding that only a negotiated solution could resolve the impasse.

周一，美国和伊朗官员分别与调解人举行会谈，再次尝试结束这场持续七个月的战争。预计双方将就伊朗提出的七天方案的修订版展开进一步磋商，该方案包括重新开放霍尔木兹海峡和重启核谈判。这场战争始于二月底，当时美国和以色列对伊朗发动了袭击，此前四月和六月达成的停火协议很快便宣告破裂。

伊朗的七天计划还将冻结数十亿美元的伊朗资产，并结束对伊朗石油的制裁。

该提议要求在霍尔木兹海峡重新开放之前，解除美国对伊朗港口的封锁。

伊朗外交部长阿巴斯·阿拉格奇表示，伊朗正在等待华盛顿对其最新停火提议和条件的回应。

唐纳德·特朗普表示，美国官员周一分别与调解人进行了交谈，并表示他预计本周将进行进一步会谈。

据美伊两国官员称，周一，美伊两国官员分别与调解人进行了会谈，这是为结束长达七个月的战争而再次努力的一部分。

一位了解谈判情况的官员告诉路透社，任何进一步的会谈预计都将集中在伊朗上周在联合国大会期间提出的为期七天的提案的修订版上。

这场战争始于2月下旬，美国和以色列对伊朗发动袭击，持续七个月，造成数千人死亡，并因输油水道受阻而震惊全球市场。此前，美国和伊朗曾在4月和6月的调解和平谈判中两次达成停火协议，但这些协议很快就破裂了。

据伊朗国家通讯社伊通社报道，出席联合国大会后留在纽约的伊朗外长阿巴斯·阿拉格奇表示，伊朗期待收到美国对其最新停火提议以及恢复霍尔木兹海峡海上交通通行条件的回应。

“如果美国人声称他们正在寻求协议或和平解决方案，那么我们已经提出了这样的解决方案，”阿拉克奇说。

特朗普暗示本周将举行进一步会谈。

伊朗的七日计划设想结束伊朗和黎巴嫩的所有敌对行动，解冻价值数十亿美元的伊朗资产，结束对伊朗石油的制裁，并解除美国对伊朗港口的封锁。

届时，伊朗将允许重新开放霍尔木兹海峡，这是油轮的重要通道；双方还将恢复关于伊朗核计划以及特朗普希望查封或销毁其高浓缩铀的谈判。

特朗普周六表示，他已拒绝伊朗的提议，称伊朗希望迅速达成协议，因为该国正面临巨大的经济压力。然而，他周日告诉Axios新闻网，他预计美国谈判代表本周将继续进行会谈。

阿拉格奇周日表示，调解人尚未正式传达美国的拒绝，伊朗正在等待华盛顿的明确立场，然后再决定下一步行动。

“我们的条件很明确，任何重新开放霍尔木兹海峡的举措都取决于这些条件的满足，”他周日表示，并补充说，只有通过谈判才能解决僵局。
