US President Donald Trump claims talks with Tehran are underway, but Iranian officials deny direct negotiations with Washington.

US President Donald Trump stated that negotiations with Iran are currently underway, describing the moment as a "last chance" for Tehran to secure a new agreement with Washington. Trump added that he paused planned military strikes following requests from Gulf allies seeking diplomatic resolution.

However, Iranian officials rejected claims of active bilateral negotiations. Tehran stated it is not conducting talks with the United States and is currently engaging only with Oman regarding maritime navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian leadership denied requesting meetings, directly contradicting assertions made by the US president.

The diplomatic friction coincides with reports indicating United States Central Command intelligence officials have solicited input from external military analysts for strategic options regarding the ongoing confrontation.
