U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that there are no talks or conversations going on, or scheduled, with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Writing on his Truth Social account, Trump said the naval blockade remains in full force and effect. He said the Strait of Hormuz is open and operating, and that all water mines have been removed or detonated. The post was published at 09:30 Eastern time, 16:30 in Israel. Trump signed the statement with his name and title, thanking readers for their attention to the matter.
