Trump: US in Talks with Iran's Parliament Speaker Kalibaf

BlockBeats News, March 31st, in an interview with the New York Post on Monday, U.S. President Trump said that Iranian Parliament Speaker Calibaf is one of the Iranian officials communicating with the United States on ending the war. When asked if Calibaf could be trusted to cooperate with Washington, Trump replied, "We will wait and see." He also stated, "I will inform you of the details in about a week." On Sunday, Trump told the Financial Times that Calibaf had authorized the passage of oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz. Trump interpreted this move as Calibaf's willingness to make concessions to achieve a war-ending agreement. Calibaf denied having engaged in any negotiations with the U.S., but experts say he is a hardliner with the conditions to make a deal. According to The Wall Street Journal, Calibaf is one of two Iranian officials temporarily removed from the U.S. and Israel's "death list."
