Trump says no talks taking place with Iran, none scheduled
US president Donald Trump says the Strait of Hormuz is open, while Iran says the shipping route will remain closed until the US fulfils the terms of an interim deal.
President Donald Trump stated on Tuesday that there are no ongoing or scheduled talks between the US and Iran, but the naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz remains in full force. The Strait of Hormuz is open and operating as of the report. Iran, however, claims the shipping route will remain closed until the US complies with the terms of an interim deal signed in June.
These terms include the US lifting its blockade, lifting oil sanctions, releasing Tehran's frozen assets, and stopping threats and military operations against Iran. Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and special envoy, expressed optimism about ongoing conversations with Iranian officials, but these talks remain inconclusive. Tensions between the US and Iran have escalated following attacks launched by the US and Israel on February 28.
Iran has declared a readiness to adopt a "fully offensive" military stance due to the stalled negotiations.
