Iran Denies Trump's Claim That New US-Iran Talks Will Begin Monday

Iran has flatly denied that new talks with the United States are currently taking place, directly contradicting a claim made by US President Donald Trump that negotiations would begin on Monday.

While Iran denies the existence of direct US-Iran talks, it confirmed it is engaged in separate negotiations with Oman regarding access rights to the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most critical shipping lanes.

The contradictory statements underscore the persistent diplomatic tensions between Washington and Tehran, with both sides offering sharply different accounts of the current state of relations.
