DW Analysis: Will Iran soon approve the US plan?

US President Donald Trump has hinted that Tehran has broadly approved a 15-point US plan to end the war.

Asked if Iran had responded to his proposal, Trump replied aboard Air Force One: " They've given us most of the points. Why wouldn't they? " The Republican did not provide further details on the Islamic Republic's so-called concessions.

According to US President Donald Trump, Iran has meanwhile agreed to allow 20 ships loaded with oil to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

The departure will take place on Monday morning and will last for several days, the Republican said overnight aboard Air Force One. He said it was a "sign of respect" from Tehran.

Trump said: "All I can say is that we're making very good progress in these negotiations, but you never know what might happen with Iran. We're negotiating with them, and ultimately we might have to hit them again from the air."

Meanwhile, Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar announced on Sunday that talks between Iran and the United States on the Middle East war are expected soon. Pakistan will be the host country for these talks. Dar did not initially provide information on whether the negotiations would be in a direct or indirect format.

Will the US take Charg Island?

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has speculated about US troops taking over the Iranian island of Charg. “Maybe we take Charg, maybe we don’t. We have a lot of options,” Trump told the Financial Times in an interview published late Monday. “That would also mean we would have to stay there for a while.”

The island in the Persian Gulf is considered the Islamic Republic's most important oil port. Before the war, almost all of Iran's crude oil exports were delivered there through the tanker terminal. Asked about Iranian defense capabilities on the island, Trump replied: "I don't believe they have any defenses. We could take it very easily."/DW
