According to the Iranian state-backed Fars News Agency, citing an official with knowledge on the matter, Iranian decision-makers have no indirect or direct communication links with the Trump administration. This comes after U.S. President Donald J. Trump announced a five-day pause on strikes against Iranian energy and power infrastructure due to “very good and productive talks” with Iran.

Fars News Agency quotes an Iranian source: "There is no direct or indirect negotiation with Trump. He retreated after hearing our threats."

Trump: The Strait of Hormuz will open soon if this (deal) succeeds. Who will control it? Maybe me and the Ayatollah, whoever it may be.
