The US President Donald Trump posted on his social network that “there are no talks or conversations going on, or scheduled, with the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Naval Blockade remains in full force and effect. The Hormuz Strait is open and operating. All water mines have been removed or detonated.”

In the meantime, Politico reported that the Trump administration is intensifying its economic pressure on Iran.

Meanwhile, Al Jazeera reported that a US official said that there is no contradiction in the White House statements regarding negotiations with Tehran, saying that positive discussions took place with Iran. However, Trump decided to wait until Iran “is ready to make a deal.”
