Iran Says No Current Talks With U.S. After Trump Cites Progress on the Strait of Hormuz

President Trump cited progress in the negotiations when canceling a threatened attack on Iran over the weekend. Iran said there were no current talks with the United States.

President Donald Trump said Sunday that a deal with Iran is “imminent” and negotiations will begin Monday afternoon over the Strait of Hormuz and Tehran’s nuclear program, one day after he called off what he described as a potentially massive U.S. attack on the Islamic Republic.

The President said that the US would begin talks with Iran "in the form of a negotiation," on Monday afternoon.
