Trump Calls Iranian Leadership “Extremely Duplicitous” After Tehran Denies New Talks Would Start Monday

U.S. President Donald Trump attacked Iran’s leadership as “extremely” or “unbelievably duplicitous” after Tehran denied that any new talks with the United States would start Monday. Iran’s Foreign Affairs Ministry said there were currently no U.S. negotiations, while it described discussions with Oman focused on a temporary understanding to reopen a safe route through the Strait of Hormuz. Trump had said talks would resume Monday and claimed he called off strikes to enable a deal. The dispute intensified amid heightened tensions over shipping and Iran’s nuclear program.
