Trump Says Talks With Iran to Resume After Rejecting Ceasefire Offer

In late September 2026, President Trump said another round of negotiations with Iran is expected to resume in the coming week. The talks would follow his rejection of an Iranian ceasefire offer, which he said fell short of what he called a "better deal."

The US also dismissed an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as "cynical." Trump said Iran had "overplayed their hand." Few other details about the timing or format of the expected talks were given.
