🇮🇷🇺🇸 Trump says Iran is "dying for a negotiation." Iran says it never picked up the phone.🚨

Deputy FM Kazem Gharibabadi went on Iranian TV and flatly denied it, saying Tehran hasn't sent a single request for talks in over 2 weeks.

On Hormuz he was just as unmovable, saying if the strait reopens to normal traffic, Iran hasn't really won the war.

He also claimed Iran blocked Oman's plan to bring in outsiders to clear mines from the strait, and hinted the free-passage window from last month's deal is done, so ships may soon have to pay.

Same war, two versions of it. It's been that way since day 1.
