The Trump administration has informed intermediaries that it is unwilling to return to the terms of the initial agreement from June with the Islamic Republic.

This position has posed a challenge to the recent efforts by Qatar, Oman, and Pakistan to revive negotiations between Washington and Tehran.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, September 5, citing informed sources, that the Trump administration has conveyed this stance multiple times to intermediaries.

The initial agreement, which was brokered by Pakistan, aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz and initiating discussions about the Islamic Republic's nuclear program and ending the war. In return, a reduction in sanctions and access for Tehran to frozen assets were considered.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Trump is now prioritizing economic pressure on the Islamic Republic and is prepared to wait for the results of this policy. Ana Kelly, a White House spokesperson, also stated that no negotiations with the Islamic Republic are ongoing or planned, and the maritime blockade and "economic expulsion operations" will continue.

This report comes as Asim Munir, the commander of the Pakistani army, traveled to Tehran earlier this week for discussions. The foreign minister of Oman has also been in talks with Islamic Republic officials to reach an understanding regarding the passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz. The Prime Minister of Qatar also met with Islamic Republic officials in Tehran on Thursday, September 5.

The Wall Street Journal noted that the disagreement over the interpretation of the June agreement and the conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz has made it difficult to establish a framework for resuming negotiations. Meanwhile, Tehran insists on implementing the terms of the previous agreement, while Washington continues to pursue a path of economic pressure.
