08/03/2026 August 3, 2026 Trump calls Iran's leaders 'duplicitous,' tells them to make deal or surrender US President Donald Trump lashed out at Iran, criticizing it for seeking to work directly with Oman on a solution to the backlog in the Strait of Hormuz. "Iranian Leadership is 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 on his social media platform Truth Social.
It was unclear why Trump put Oman in quotation marks, but the remarks come after Iran announced it was negotiating a joint temporary shipping corridor with Oman. Trump asserted, however, that the Strait of Hormuz is "already completely controlled by the United States Navy" and the blockade it has imposed on it.
"Nothing gets through to Iran, unless we want it to, and nothing will get through, unless a Deal, or Total Surrender, is accomplished," Trump wrote. The US president also again vowed that Iran would not obtain a nuclear weapon.
