Iran has signaled that no immediate negotiations with the United States are under way, pushing back against President Donald Trump’s statement that talks would resume. The differing accounts highlight a gap between Washington’s description of diplomatic prospects and Tehran’s public position.
Reports indicate that Iran has rejected the suggestion that new U.S.-Iran talks are currently planned or taking place. The response comes amid broader discussion of regional tensions and possible diplomatic efforts connected to the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran has separately been reported to be discussing matters related to the Strait of Hormuz with Oman. Those contacts have not been described by Iran as negotiations with the United States, and there is no indication from the available context that a new bilateral dialogue has begun.
