Iran on Monday denied President Donald Trump's claim that direct negotiations between Washington and Tehran would begin the same day, saying no such talks are currently planned, according to CBS News.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said Tehran is not negotiating with the United States and clarified that its only ongoing discussions are with Oman. According to the report, those talks are focused on establishing a temporary shipping route to ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
The report said Trump described the canceled operation as potentially the "biggest attacks since World War II." However, Tehran maintained that its diplomatic efforts remain limited to Oman and are centered solely on maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz.
