Iran Denies Direct Peace Talks with U.S., Confirms Discussions with Oman

AI-synthesized · Bias removed · Facts only

Iran’s Foreign Ministry has denied reports of direct peace negotiations with the Trump administration, stating that discussions are limited to plans regarding the Strait of Hormuz with the government of Oman. The denial came after President Trump asserted Iran was engaging in talks, prompting a response from Iranian officials calling those claims “unbelievably duplicitous.”

The Iranian Foreign Ministry made its statement during a regular briefing on Monday, clarifying that no direct negotiations with U.S. officials are currently underway. This directly contradicts recent assertions by President Trump regarding potential peace talks. Channel 4 News reported Trump’s accusations of Iran being “unbelievably duplicitous” following the denial.

The focus of current Iranian diplomatic efforts, according to their Foreign Ministry, is solely on coordinating plans with Oman concerning security and navigation in the Strait of Hormuz – a vital waterway for global oil shipments. Breitbart News reported this specific detail from the ministry’s briefing. No right-leaning sources beyond Breitbart are present in this coverage.

The discrepancy between President Trump's claims and Iran's denial leaves unresolved whether backchannel communications or indirect negotiations, outside of those involving Oman, may be occurring.
