Iran's foreign minister stated that there are currently "no negotiations" between Iran and the U.S., and both sides are only communicating through intermediaries. Meanwhile, Trump said he is "handling" the Iran issue discreetly, indicating that the U.S. is engaged in "semi-negotiations" and prefers economic pressure over military escalation. The temporary maritime route negotiations between Iran and Oman have entered the final stage, but the Iranian side emphasized that this is unrelated to the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which still depends on the U.S. meeting a series of tough conditions, including troop withdrawal, compensation, and lifting sanctions.
