# Iran Rejects Trump’s Negotiation Claims, Demands US Honour Commitments 2026-08-07T06:01:50+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf accused the United States of “theatre diplomacy” on Thursday, saying Washington was alternating between threats and negotiation claims. He demanded that the US acknowledge facts and fulfil its commitments. Trump has said Washington and Tehran are negotiating, while warning Iran it could face a heavy attack if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. Iran’s foreign ministry has denied that talks are under way. The Strait remains central to the standoff, with shipping disrupted and energy flows affected. Iran is discussing navigation arrangements with Oman and says an understanding on routes is close. Iranian officials have also warned that the country is prepared for a prolonged confrontation. The two sides continue to offer conflicting accounts of diplomacy and the waterway’s reopening. ## Coverage - ndtvprofit.com - nationalheraldindia.com Tags: Donald Trump, Iran, Oman, Strait of Hormuz, United States Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/iran-demands-us-honour-commitments-as-hormuz-tensions-rise/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
