However, Iran&#8217;s foreign ministry denied any such talks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have instructed the Department of War to postpone any and all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a five day period, subject to the success of the ongoing meetings and discussions,&#8221; Mr. Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/116278232362967212\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">posted on social media<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>An Iranian source told state media, however, that there has been no direct or indirect communication with the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, Iran&#8217;s Foreign Ministry denies the claims made by Mr. Trump regarding negotiations taking place between the U.S. and the Islamic Republic.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to reporters on Monday morning, Mr. Trump would not say who his administration is speaking to in Iran, only saying it was a &#8220;top&#8221; person but not the supreme leader. Mr. Trump added that Iran contacted the U.S., saying, &#8220;so they called, I didn&#8217;t call. They called. They want to make a deal.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Fox Business&#8217; Maria Bartiromo said Monday that she asked the president about that seeming discrepancy. She <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/video\/6391450229112\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">reported<\/a> that he said he isn&#8217;t sure what they&#8217;re referring to, because the latest talks took place last night with U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and Mr. Trump&#8217;s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Bartiromo said the president told her Iran wants &#8220;badly&#8221; to reach a deal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump&#8217;s comments on Monday are an about-face from a social media post over the weekend in which he declared that if Iran didn&#8217;t open the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. would &#8220;hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/mike-waltz-iran-bombing-nuclear-plants-trump\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Mike Waltz told &#8220;Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan<\/a><\/span>&#8221; on Sunday that &#8220;to the extent we&#8217;re degrading their military capability and their defense industrial base, all options should be on the table, and the president&#8217;s made that very clear.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>U.N. Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/un-chief-guterres-reasonable-grounds-believe-war-crimes-happening-iran-war\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">told<\/a> Politico last week that an attack on energy infrastructure from either side could constitute a war crime. Waltz responded on Sunday that &#8220;when you have a regime that has its grips in so much critical infrastructure that&#8217;s using it to further, not only the repression of its own people, to attack its neighbors and in contravention of U.N. sanctions, to march towards a nuclear weapon, then that makes those legitimate targets.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Strait of Hormuz, the key waterway that, before the Iran war, had enabled the flow of 20% of the world&#8217;s oil shipments, has been effectively closed since the war began. Iran said over the weekend that the Strait would be &#8220;completely closed&#8221; if Mr. Trump carried out his threats on nuclear power plants.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"link\"><a
