Israeli media: US and Iran exchange messages via Qatar, no consensus reached on Strait of Hormuz issue

BlockBeats news, September 24 - According to Israel's Channel 12, U.S. negotiators in indirect talks held during the United Nations General Assembly in New York rejected Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, telling Tehran that Iran does not control the waterway and questioning its standing to make such an offer. Channel 12 further disclosed details of the talks, saying that U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were in one room, while Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was in another, with messages relayed back and forth through Qatari mediators.

According to Channel 12, citing people familiar with the matter, more indirect talks may be held before the UN General Assembly concludes, but mediators are waiting for Trump to decide whether to continue the process or take another approach. (Jinshi)
