US negotiating with Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf: Report
Trump announced a five-day pause on strikes following claimed talks with Iran, while Tehran denies negotiations and accuses the U.S. of manipulating energy markets.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump claimed his administration held "GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS" with Tehran, but Iranian officials immediately denied any negotiations took place, calling the assertion "false."
- Trump had threatened to "obliterate" Iranian power plants if the Strait of Hormuz remained closed over the weekend; he postponed military strikes for a five-day period following threats of retaliation from Iranian forces.
- Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting called Trump's claim "false," stating the administration's announcement was an effort to "reduce energy prices and gain time" rather than genuine diplomatic outreach.
- Jamal Abdi, president of the National Iranian American Council, criticized the move as a "panicky message to the markets," arguing the president negotiates "for social media and TV cameras" rather than substance.
- Last week, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated the war must end to prevent enemies from "repeating such attacks," adding that "we don't ask for ceasefire" but demand resolution.
