Iran Denies Talks Amid Trump's New Push for Deal
US President Donald Trump announced new talks with Iran on Monday to end the Middle East conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but Iran denied having any current negotiations with the US.
The Strait of Hormuz is a key route for global oil shipment, and tensions have been running high since the start of the war between the US and Iran in late February.
A joint temporary shipping corridor is being negotiated by Iran and Oman to ensure safe passage through the Strait, but Trump claimed that nothing gets through without US approval and threatened a deal or total surrender from Iran.
