Donald Trump has declared that Iranian power plants would face imminent air strikes if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. This ultimatum was initially set for today, but Trump subsequently postponed it, citing the prospect of “productive talks” between the involved parties. However, Iran vehemently denies any knowledge of these purported discussions.
Tehran strongly denies that any negotiations with the United States have taken place. Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, the President of the Iranian Parliament, issued a statement on the X network, asserting, “There have been no negotiations with the United States.” He further alleged that “fake news is being used to manipulate the financial and oil markets.”
The potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz represents a significant threat to global markets, creating considerable instability. Trump’s stance underscores the severity of the situation and the potential for escalation.
The delay in the deadline suggests a cautious approach, awaiting the outcome of these alleged talks.
