President Donald Trump said the U.S. government is negotiating with Iran’s parliament speaker to end the Iran war and potentially reopen the Strait of Hormuz, although Iranian officials have denied that any direct talks have taken place.

In an interview with the New York Post published on Monday, Trump said his administration communicated with Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, a former Revolutionary Guard commander.
