The U.S. president told Fox News that talks with Iran were underway «all day» on Tuesday.

Donald Trump described these exchanges as positive and said that negotiations with Iran are going well, but at the same time warned that if no agreement is reached, the United States will «strike» Iran «strongly.»

Hours earlier, an Iranian official had told Press TV, the English-language television network of the Islamic Republic of Iran, that negotiations over the Strait of Hormuz between Iran and Oman are «and have nothing to do with others, including the United States, but Donald Trump, with repeated interference, is seeking to insinuate that this process is being affected.» 📷Bloomberg via Getty
