Iran's leadership is "unbelievably duplicitous" and continues its "usual blather" while refusing to sign a deal with the United States, according to US President Donald Trump.
Trump accuses Iran of lying
The US president accused the Iranian leadership of being "unbelievably duplicitous."
"They ask for a meeting, some would say 'beg,' talks begin, with more scheduled in the immediate future, and they say, openly and proudly, that they're not having any discussions, that nothing is being talked about, and they're only dealing with 'Oman,'" Trump wrote.
He also said that Iran was lying about the Strait of Hormuz.
"It is already completely controlled by the United States Navy and our 'Blockade' or, as some say, 'The United States Wall of Steel!'" the president said.
US promises Iran capitulation
Trump said nothing would get through to Iran unless a deal or "total surrender" is achieved.
"Whether Iran wants to admit it or not, we are, in fact, talking of a solution to a problem that they have caused, for decades," Trump said.
He concluded: "It is very simple, Iran will never have a nuclear weapon."
Earlier, Trump announced a new round of negotiations with Iran. Washington decided to refrain from new strikes on the Islamic Republic and pursue a diplomatic settlement.
In addition, Trump said that Tehran and other Middle Eastern countries had asked Washington to refrain from attacking Iran.
