President Donald Trump stated on Tuesday that the U.S. is not currently engaged in any talks with Iran, nor are any scheduled. Trump made the announcement in a post on Truth Social, as reported by NBC News, CBS News, the Washington Examiner, Middle East Eye, and the Straits Times. The statement comes after a 60-day memorandum of understanding expired, according to the Washington Examiner. While Trump affirmed that a naval blockade remains in full force, the Straits Times reported a conflicting claim from Iran that the Strait of Hormuz would remain closed until the U.S. fulfills the terms of an interim deal. No reason was given for the lack of talks, but the announcement signals a continuation of the standoff between the two countries, which has been ongoing for almost six months, according to CBS News.
No right-leaning outlets reported on this story beyond the Washington Examiner. The current status of potential negotiations remains unresolved, with Iran maintaining a different position regarding the Strait of Hormuz than the U.S.
