After more than 20 hours of dialogue, the conversation has ended with a final offer and deep disagreements over the nuclear programme and regional security.

According to Iranian media, the Iranian representatives will not sit at the negotiating table until they have fulfilled the commitments contained in the ceasefire agreement and ended in the Israeli attack. Peace negotiations between the US and Iran are scheduled to begin on Saturday in the city of Islamabad, with Pakistan as mediator.

The strait has been open for several hours. The platforms monitoring maritime traffic have confirmed that they have noticed the first movements. However, following the Israeli attack on Lebanon, the Iranian authorities have again suspended the navigation of the oil tankers, according to the Fars agency, linked to the Revolutionary Guard.

Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has made it clear that although he accepts the agreement between the United States and Iran, Lebanon does not enter into the treaty.

Iran has pledged not to manufacture nuclear weapons and has called for the lifting of all sanctions against it and the creation of a fund to compensate for the damage suffered. These are some of the points of Tehran's plan to negotiate an end to the war with the US.

The price of a barrel of Brent oil has fallen significantly as a result of the two-week truce between the US and Iran, during which a peace agreement will be negotiated in Pakistan on the basis of a ten-point plan presented by Tehran.

The ceasefire has been announced an hour and a half before the end of Trump's ultimatum. The parties will cease their attacks and Iran is committed to opening the Strait of Hormuz. 

A few hours before the deadline given by US President Donald Trump to open the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian citizens have taken to the streets and formed human chains in power stations and bridges, claiming that attacking public infrastructure with Iranian flags, posters calling for resistance, or photos of leaders is a war crime.

A few hours before the ultimatum to Iran ends, the US president has announced that today will be "one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the world." 

"The purpose of these talks is to examine the procedure for ships to pass safely through the Strait of Hormuz ," said Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Bagaei on Monday.

The deadline has been extended until 20:00 in the east of the United States. It will be Wednesday morning in Tehran. Meanwhile, the number of deaths in Iran continues to increase due to American and Israeli attacks.

In an interview with Fox News, he has advanced that Iran is negotiating with the US.
