The possibility of renewed negotiations between the US and Iran has surfaced, with US President Donald Trump stating that 'the right people' have reached out for a deal. This statement comes amidst heightened tensions following the US's decision to block vessels from accessing Iranian ports. Iran's ambassador to India, Mohammad Fathali, expressed a conditional openness to talks, insisting that Iran is ready for negotiations but will not accept unlawful demands. He highlighted that Iran is also prepared for military escalation if the US continues its blockade. Fathali asserted Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz and indicated that the future of negotiations hinges on the US's willingness to accept Iran's conditions. He noted that Iran had previously presented key points during talks in Islamabad, including issues related to nuclear policy and sanctions relief, but disagreements remain. The ambassador warned that the US's approach will determine the prospects for peace and further negotiations.
