"President Trump announced a five-day pause on attacks against Iran's power infrastructure, claiming that Washington and Tehran had held very good and productive conversations aimed at ending their war."
"Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs rejected Trump's claims of negotiations, accusing him of pausing attacks only to calm energy markets amid rising tensions."
"Ghalibaf threatened companies holding US Treasury bonds, indicating Iran's readiness to respond aggressively to US actions in the region."
Iranian leaders, including Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, have denied any negotiations with the US, contradicting President Trump's claims of productive discussions. Trump announced a five-day pause on attacks against Iran's power infrastructure while asserting that his envoys were in contact with Ghalibaf. Iran responded to Trump's ultimatum regarding the Strait of Hormuz by threatening to attack energy facilities in Israel. The Iranian government requires approval from Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei for any negotiations with the US to be considered legitimate.
