Senior Iranian officials have told CNN that Tehran will not negotiate with the United States until Washington drops its maximalist demands. These demands reportedly encompass Iran's atomic program, its ballistic missile arsenal, and control of the Strait of Hormuz. The officials stated the possibility of negotiations concluding by Monday is now very low, as the situation has escalated with the renewed closure of the Strait. If no agreement is reached by Monday, when the current ceasefire ends, a resumption of war is anticipated.
