US President Donald Trump says there are no ongoing talks or conversations between the United States and Iran, and that none are scheduled. He also says the naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz remains in full force and effect.

The reporting also notes differing claims about the wider situation around the Strait of Hormuz. One outlet adds that Trump’s comments are made alongside assertions that the shipping route stays constrained, while another emphasizes Iran’s position that the passage would remain closed until the United States fulfills the terms of an interim deal. Across the articles, the common thread is the lack of active or planned US-Iran talks, while the dispute centers on how shipping through the Strait is being treated and by whom.
