U.S. President Donald Trump said he rejected Iran’s latest proposal presented during indirect talks in New York. Contacts between Washington and Tehran continued through regional mediators, with the Strait of Hormuz, nuclear negotiations and a regional ceasefire on the agenda.

U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters outside the White House on Saturday that he had rejected Iran’s latest proposal, presented in New York this week.
“They made a proposal and I rejected it,” Trump said.
A U.S. official said that despite the rejection, talks between Washington and Tehran were continuing through Türkiye, Qatar and other regional mediators. The official said the negotiations were progressing “positively and constructively” and that nuclear issues were also among the topics under discussion.
Iran’s conditions on Hormuz and nuclear talks
The latest round of indirect talks in New York took place this week during the meetings of the United Nations General Assembly. As U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner met with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, officials from Qatar facilitated the transmission of messages between the two sides.
During the talks, Araghchi conveyed Iran’s conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz and continuing the nuclear negotiations. In return for reopening the strategic waterway and restarting nuclear talks within a week, Tehran asked Washington to lift the naval blockade, end sanctions on Iranian oil sales and reinstate a region-wide ceasefire.
U.S. negotiators argued that Tehran did not control the Strait of Hormuz and therefore could not make demands concerning the strait.
Mediation between Washington and Tehran
The talks took place as Türkiye, Qatar and other regional mediators sought to revive the diplomatic channel between Washington and Tehran.
Fundamental disagreements between the parties remained.
