US President Donald Trump has blasted Iranian leadership as “unbelievably duplicitous” after Tehran announced that there are no talks with Washington.

“They ask for a meeting, some would say ‘beg”, talks begin, with more scheduled in the immediate future, and they say, openly and proudly, that they’re not having any discussions, that nothing is being talked about, and they’re only dealing with ‘Oman’,” he writes on Truth Social.

Trump also reiterates that the Strait of Hormuz is under American control, not Iranian, due to the US’ naval blockade and military presence in the region.

“Nothing gets through to Iran, unless we want it to, and nothing will get through, unless a deal, or total surrender, is accomplished,” he adds. “Whether Iran wants to admit it or not, we are, in fact, talking of a solution to a problem that they have caused, for decades.”
