US EditionThe Latest: Trump Says US Is Negotiating with Iran’s Parliamentary Speaker
Trump disclosed ongoing talks with Iran’s parliamentary speaker despite denials, seeking to pressure Iran into ending the monthlong conflict amid rising oil prices and regional tensions.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump confirmed the United States is negotiating with Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, saying he would determine within a week if the speaker is willing to work with Washington.
- Trump previously threatened to destroy Iran's energy infrastructure if a deal to end the war is not reached shortly, claiming the new leadership is easier to work with than their deceased predecessors.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the administration is aware of competing voices within Iran's government pitting hard-liners against those willing to negotiate. "There's some fractures going on there internally," Rubio said.
- Despite Trump's confirmation, Ghalibaf has denied discussions with the U.S., though he was floated as Washington's negotiating partner amid earlier speculation about Trump's unnamed contact.
- Rubio said the U.S. military buildup in the Middle East will continue as a backstop to negotiations, as Trump maintains "options available" to address Iran's threats to control the Strait of Hormuz.
