Iran Says No Current Talks With U.S. After Trump Cites Progress on the Strait of Hormuz
Middle East2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported42m ago
Iranian officials have stated that there are no current negotiations taking place with the United States, contradicting claims made by U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump had previously cited progress in negotiations as the reason for calling off a threatened military strike against Iran over the weekend.
While denying direct talks with Washington, Iranian authorities confirmed that their only current discussions are mediated through Oman concerning the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The diplomatic friction follows a close-call military scenario in which the U.S. President halted planned strikes at the last minute amidst escalating regional tensions.
