The Jawbone Of An Ass

"Trump told reporters a negotiation would begin on Monday afternoon but did not provide details of where it would take place or ⁠who would be involved."

I'm am confused. Iran is talking w/Oman re SoH. Iran won't talk w/US about nuclear until MoU is fully implemented. So what is the US going to be negotiating w/Iran about?
Iran says no negotiations are underway with the United States and no meetings are planned, directly contradicting President Trump's claim that talks would begin Monday after his decision to call off planned military strikes on a scale not seen since World War II.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said the only ongoing discussions involve Oman and concern management of the Strait of Hormuz, while a senior Iranian source also told Reuters that no U.S.-Iran talks are scheduled. President Trump has repeatedly cited diplomacy as a reason for pausing planned military action during the five-month conflict.

The conflicting public statements leave the status of diplomacy unclear as both sides continue to exchange military pressure while the dispute over the Strait of Hormuz remains unresolved, according to Reuters.
Meanwhile, the U.S. controls the Strait of Hormuz with a “wall of steel,” so time to jawbone oil prices.
