US President Donald Trump has accused Iran’s leadership of sending mixed signals over possible negotiations, claiming Iranian officials privately sought talks while publicly denying that any discussions were taking place.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump described the Iranian leadership as “unbelievably duplicitous.”
“Iranian Leadership is unbelievably duplicitous! They ask for a meeting, some would say ‘beg,’ talks begin, with more scheduled in the immediate future, and they say, openly and proudly, that they’re not having any discussions, that nothing is being talked about, and they’re only dealing with ‘Oman’,” he wrote.
Trump also dismissed Iran’s claims regarding control of the Strait of Hormuz, asserting that the United States already has effective control over the strategic waterway.
“Nothing gets through to Iran, unless we want it to, and nothing will get through, unless a Deal, or Total Surrender, is accomplished,” he said.
He concluded by restating the United States’ long-standing position on Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
“It is very simple, IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON!” Trump declared.
