The talks are focused on reopening the Strait of Hormuz, which Trump said could come “literally by tomorrow,” and the denuclearisation of Iran, which he said could “take a little while.” Iran, for its part, said it is not currently negotiating with the United States. Before the war, there was free passage through Hormuz, but Iran now insists on retaining control and charging fees, something the United States rejects.
