Trump Claims Iran Talks While Parliament Denies, Fueling Market Manipulation Fears
In recent statements, President Donald Trump indicated a potential US willingness to share control of the Strait of Hormuz with Iran. He also suggested that significant regime change in Iran has already occurred, citing the elimination of numerous Iranian officials. These remarks followed direct talks between US envoys and top Iranian leadership, reportedly mediated by Pakistan, with a source identifying Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf as a key participant. Trump expressed optimism about these negotiations, noting major points of agreement and describing the Iranian leadership as “very reasonable” and “very stable,” while also reaffirming a commitment to zero uranium enrichment for Iran.
