The Tehran regime denies Donald Trump, and it is not the first time. “There are no negotiations underway with the United States and no meetings are planned. Iran has no intention of hosting foreign delegations or sending negotiators abroad in the coming days,” said yesterday the spokesperson of the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Esmail Baghaei. “All Iranian negotiators,” Baghaei added, “are currently in the country, except for Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, on a pilgrimage in Iraq. The only ongoing talks are those with Oman on the management of Hormuz.”

Over the weekend, Trump repeated a pattern already tried, without results, in the last five months of war. On Saturday he threatened “new, massive attacks” against Iran, even “the largest military attack since World War II.” On Sunday he backtracked, at the request of the Gulf countries, “to allow more time – as explained by the White House – for negotiations on reopening traffic in the Strait of Hormuz.”
“We were ready to go, but when the allies asked to cancel everything, the only response could be: Well, let’s see,” said the American president, opening up to “immediate talks” with Iran. “Would I prefer to reach an agreement? I have no intention of killing anyone. Now we are talking with them,” Trump said again aboard Air Force One on Sunday, without specifying the location or participants in the negotiations.

But yesterday the Tehran government flatly denied that there are ongoing talks with the United States. And The Donald did not fail to show all his anger and frustration. “Iran will have to choose between agreement or total surrender,” he said on Truth Social before boasting control over Iranian ports: “Nothing arrives in Iran unless we want it, and nothing will arrive unless an agreement or total surrender is reached. Whether Iran wants to admit it or not, we are, in fact, talking about a solution to a problem they themselves have caused, for decades,” he said referring to the ayatollahs’ nuclear program.
Yesterday Trump then attacked the Iranian leadership again, calling it “incredibly hypocritical,” boasted the control of the U.S. Navy over Hormuz, and insisted on negotiations. “I want to give them one last chance before beheading. The Strait of Hormuz,” he said from the Oval Office, “could literally be open by tomorrow. You will know soon, things will move quickly one way or the other. It is not a very complicated matter. The first phase is the opening of the strait. The second will be denuclearization, it will take some time, but we are very determined on this.”
