Trump: "I'll Probably Receive a Letter from Iran Tonight"...Will Uranium Enrichment Be Suspended?
U.S. President Donald Trump, when asked by reporters at the White House on the 8th (local time) whether he had received a response from Iran regarding U.S. demands, replied, "I will probably receive a letter (from Iran) tonight," adding, "So we'll see what happens."
The United States and Iran have been observing a ceasefire since the 7th of last month. Even after the first round of high-level talks, which ended without a deal on the 11th and 12th of the same month, the two countries have continued negotiations behind the scenes with mediation by Pakistan.
According to foreign media, the United States is reportedly demanding, as conditions for ending the conflict, a 20-year suspension of uranium enrichment by Iran and the gradual reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
President Trump's remarks on this day are drawing attention, as they suggest that Iran may provide a response to these U.S. demands within the day.
