It has been claimed that the US and Iran are holding talks to achieve a ceasefire in exchange for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
“Elchi” reports that three US officials, speaking to the US-based Axios platform, stated that talks are underway between the Washington and Tehran administrations to achieve a ceasefire.
Although officials claimed that the US and Iran are holding talks to achieve a ceasefire in exchange for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, they did not provide details on whether these talks were direct or through mediators.
Officials stated that it is still uncertain whether an agreement will be reached as a result of these talks, and claimed that US President Donald Trump discussed this possibility with officials both inside and outside the administration.
Two sources familiar with the matter also claimed that Trump spoke by phone yesterday with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and raised the possibility of a ceasefire, and also spoke with United Arab Emirates (UAE) President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
Meanwhile, another source stated that US Vice President JD Vance held talks with mediators on March 31 regarding a possible ceasefire and conveyed to Iran that the US is open to a ceasefire if its demands, including the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, are met.
The source added that Vance reiterated Trump’s statement that the US would strike Iranian infrastructure if an agreement is not reached.
