Responding to Trump&#8217;s remarks that discussions were underway to &#8220;completely&#8221; reopen the Strait of Hormuz, Rezaee said, &#8220;The US had accepted Iran&#8217;s arrangements for the Strait of Hormuz under the (Islamabad) MoU, but later violated the agreement. The US not only breached the MoU but also launched attacks without first referring the dispute to the designated dispute resolution panel.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trump slams Iranian leadership after Tehran denies Monday talks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The US President on Monday (local time) slammed the Iranian leadership and branded them as &#8220;unbelievably duplicitous,&#8221; stating that Tehran officials asked for talks on ending the war only to announce that no discussions would be held. Earlier, Trump announced that the two sides would hold talks on Monday afternoon, weeks after hostilities resumed, stoking fears of a return to full-scale war. However, the Islamic Republic denied any talks with Washington and added that it is in discussions with Oman over a temporary safe route through the Strait of Hormuz. Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei told reporters, &#8220;We currently do not have negotiations with America,&#8221; and added that Tehran had no plans to send a delegation or negotiators abroad in the coming days.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Another cargo vessel hit by a projectile near Oman: UKMTO<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said it had received a report of an incident 20 nautical miles northeast of Al Khasab, Oman, after a cargo vessel broadcast over VHF channel 16 that it had been hit by an unknown projectile.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Oil holds decline as Trump says talks are Iran\u2019s \u2018last chance\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Oil was steady after its biggest drop in a week, as Trump said his latest offer of talks was Tehran&#8217;s &#8220;last chance&#8221; and that he expected a full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
