Iran denies talks with US, says it is only negotiating with Oman over Strait of Hormuz

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghei flatly denied that Iran is holding any talks with the United States, contradicting claims by Donald Trump. Tehran is, however, holding discussions with Oman over a temporary shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz. The denial marks the latest public contradiction of the Trump administration's statements on Iran diplomacy.
