Iran's foreign ministry on Monday denied that any negotiations are taking place with the United States, directly contradicting President Donald Trump's claim that talks would begin. Esmaeil Baghaei, Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson, said there are no ongoing negotiations between Tehran and Washington, nor any plans for meetings. He added that discussions over the management of the Strait of Hormuz remain mediated by Oman. Trump said on Sunday that a negotiation with Iran would start on Monday afternoon, and according to Al Jazeera, he also said talks were under way and warned that the negotiations were Tehran's last chance to secure a deal. The contradictory statements highlight the diplomatic standoff between the two countries, with Iran insisting that any dialogue is channeled through Omani mediation rather than direct US contact.
