  • Iranian Media Contradicts Trump: No Direct or Indirect Contact with Him

    On March 23, according to Iranian media Fars News, sources indicated that there has been no direct contact between Iran and the United States, nor any communication through intermediaries. After learning that Iran would target all power plants in the West Asia region, Trump chose to back down. Just recently, Trump posted on social media that the U.S. and Iran had very good and productive dialogue over the past two days and had instructed a five-day pause on all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure. Analysts pointed out that while there may have been some form of contact between the two sides, the key is to view everything in a more appropriate context. It is well known that Trump tends to exaggerate situations, but everything has two sides, and this is undoubtedly one of those cases that requires cautious handling. Therefore, one should be particularly careful when interpreting these latest news reports. Ultimately, what truly matters is the actual situation. Nothing will change until the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is genuinely lifted.
