U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that negotiations between the United States and Iran would resume on Monday. However, this claim was swiftly refuted by Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, who stated that there are no plans for such talks in the immediate future.

Esmaeil Baghaei, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, clarified that Iran is not currently engaged in negotiations with the U.S. and has no intention of hosting foreign delegations or sending its own representatives for talks in the coming days. "We will not be hosting delegations these days, nor will we be a guest in any country," Baghaei stated.

Baghaei explained that Iran is currently in discussions with Oman regarding temporary security corridors in the Strait of Hormuz. He emphasized that reaching an agreement with Oman on this matter does not signify a reopening of the strait, attributing current issues to "military aggression by the United States and the Zionist regime (Israel)."

He also mentioned that China is concerned about the situation in the Middle East and is using its capabilities to prevent escalation. Baghaei noted that Pakistan is acting as a mediator in issues between Iran and the U.S., with Qatar also prepared to assist if necessary. He stressed that no new countries have intervened to mediate the dispute between Iran and the U.S.

The Strait of Hormuz is in trouble because of military aggression by the United States and the Zionist regime (Israel).
