Iran foreign ministry says currently no negotiations with United States

Iran's foreign ministry said on Monday there were currently no negotiations with the United States but there were talks with Oman over the management of the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

"We are not currently negotiating with the United States. Our negotiations are with Oman to secure passage through the Strait of Hormuz," said foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei during a weekly press briefing.

U.S. President Donald Trump had said that new negotiations with Iran will begin Monday after he decided to hold off on striking the Islamic republic.
