White House touts progress in Iran talks as Tehran denies direct negotiations

  • On Monday, President Donald Trump identified Iranian parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf as his primary contact, confirming ongoing negotiations to end the war despite the regime's public denials.
  • While Iranian officials publicly insist no direct negotiations exist, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated private communications appear "more reasonable" than previous leadership.
  • President Trump warned on Sunday that if negotiations fail, the United States will obliterate Iranian "Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island," which have purposefully not yet been touched.
  • Iranian Foreign Ministry officials dismissed the U.S. proposal as "very excessive, unrealistic, and irrational demands," while Leavitt urged skepticism citing the regime's 47-year history of deception.
  • As about 20% of the world's oil supply moves through the Strait of Hormuz, the administration credits recent diplomacy for the safe passage of about 20 vessels through the waterway.
