**The short version**

- US President Donald Trump expects indirect talks with Iran to continue this week.
- Trump stated Iran wants to make a deal, but it is not the deal he wants.
- The US president said he is always considering renewing strikes against Iran.
- Trump rejected Iran's proposal to open the Strait of Hormuz for sanctions relief and an end to the US blockade.

US President Donald Trump expects indirect negotiations with Iran to continue this week, according to reports. Axios reported, citing sources, that another round of talks could occur as early as Monday. Trump told Axios that Iran wants to make a deal, but it is not the deal he wants to make, adding that Iran had overplayed its hand. He also stated that he is always considering renewing strikes against Iran.

Trump rejected Iran's proposal to open the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for sanctions relief and an end to the US blockade of Iranian ports. He stated he likes deals but could not accept that specific proposal. The US military facilitates the passage of large amounts of oil through the Strait of Hormuz. One report noted that over 20 million barrels of oil passed through the strait on 25 September.

## Disagreement on Iran's proposal details

Reports differ on the specifics of Iran's proposal. The Jerusalem Post stated Iran proposed opening the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for sanctions relief and an end to the US blockade of Iranian ports. Beirut 24 reported Trump said Iran's proposal was to open the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for sanctions relief and an end to the US blockade of Iranian ports. However, ertnews.gr stated Trump rejected Iran's proposed plan to open the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for sanctions relief and an end to the US blockade of Iranian ports.

## What the coverage left out

None of the left or centre-rated reports mention the quantity of oil passing through the Strait of Hormuz, a detail reported by the right-rated Yonhap News Agency and Beirut 24.

## How the sides framed it

### Left

- The left-rated report from Zeit Online led with Trump expecting further talks with Iran. It mentioned that Iran wants to make a deal, but it is not the deal Trump wants to make. The report also noted Trump's statement that he is always considering renewing strikes on Iran.

### Centre

- The centre-rated report from the Jerusalem Post led with Trump expecting indirect US-Iran talks to continue this week. It quoted Trump saying Iran wants to make a deal, but it is not the deal he wants to make, and that Iran had overplayed its hand. The report also included Trump's statement that he is always considering renewing strikes against Iran and detailed Iran's proposal regarding the Strait of Hormuz.

### Right

- The right-rated reports from Yonhap News Agency, Interfax.ru, news-pravda.com, Seeking Alpha, and anews.com.tr all focused on Trump's expectation of continued talks with Iran this week. Several reports highlighted Trump's warning that Tehran had overplayed its hand. News-pravda.com and anews.com.tr specifically mentioned Trump's statement about always considering resuming strikes on Iran. Yonhap News Agency also noted Trump's rejection of Iran's '7-day plan' to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and mentioned the large volume of oil passing through the strait.

**Provisional coverage gap:** left. The watch is not closed, so this is not yet a settled blindspot finding.
