Iran denied Trump's statement about the negotiations that have begun: Lying, as always

Iran is not negotiating with US President Donald Trump. The statement of the Iranian Foreign Ministry was published by the country's president Masoud Peseshkian in his Telegram channel.

"The statements of the US president are made in the context of attempts to reduce energy prices and gain time to implement their military plans," the Iranian Foreign Ministry explained.

The Iranian Tasnim agency, which is also considered the "mouthpiece of the IRGC," writes that Trump retreated from the ultimatum to strike critical infrastructure after Iran's military threats "gained real strength." In addition, pressure on financial markets and threats related to bonds in the The United States and the West.

The agency's source noted that from the very beginning of the war, messages were sent to Tehran from Washington about ending the conflict, but a clear answer was received to everything: Iran will fight until it reaches the necessary level of deterrence.

He added that with the current actions of Iran's opponents, the Strait of Hormuz will not be unblocked, and there will be chaos in the energy markets. Trump's five-day ultimatum, the source believes, means continuing the current course, and Iran will continue to respond and provide large-scale defense of the country.

As reported by EADaily, today Donald Trump unexpectedly announced that the United States and Iran has been conducting constructive negotiations for the second day and he decided to postpone strikes on Iran's energy infrastructure for five days "depending on the success of ongoing meetings and discussions."

At the same time, Trump presented Iran with an ultimatum the day before. He said he would "strike and destroy" Iranian power plants, starting with the largest one, if the Strait of Hormuz is not opened by Tehran within 48 hours.
