Ammon News - Iran is not currently ​holding talks with ‌the United States and is now ​in discussions ​with Oman over a ⁠temporary safe ​route through the ​Strait of Hormuz, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson ​Esmaeil Baghaei ​said on Monday.

Baghaei added ‌that ⁠reaching an agreement with Oman is not sufficient ​to ​reopen ⁠the strait, as the ​situation will ​remain ⁠unchanged while U.S. "aggression" continues.

U.S. President Donald Trump said talks ​with Iran will happen on Monday but declined to set a deadline for an agreement after earlier saying he had called off an ‌imminent attack in hopes of quickly reaching a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resolve the impasse over Tehran's nuclear capabilities.

Trump had said late on Saturday on his Truth Social platform that Iran and other Middle Eastern countries had asked for time to complete a deal that would lead to "the Immediate, Complete and Total" reopening of the strait and "an end to ​Iran's nuclear threat" but that Tehran must "rapidly make a DEAL."
