Trump ignores Iran's denial and claims that dialogue is perfect.

On March 23, local time, US President Trump told the media that the US had engaged in "strong" dialogue with Iran, the dialogue was "perfect", and key points of an agreement had been reached. If everything goes well, the conflict will be resolved. However, Iran denied engaging in dialogue with the US on the same day. Trump stated that the US had destroyed a significant amount of infrastructure in Iran, making it difficult for Iran to obtain information. Trump claimed that the US had engaged in dialogue with the leadership of Iran, and was in dialogue with "the most respected leader we believe". When asked if Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was involved in the negotiations, Trump said, "No." Trump also stated that Iran "initiated the call" because they were "concerned about US military strikes on power plants". When asked about who will control oil in the future and whether Iran will still be able to control oil transport, Trump suggested that he and the "next Iranian Supreme Leader" could potentially control it together. According to reports from US and Israeli media, the US is in dialogue with the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Kalibaf. However, Kalibaf himself denied these reports. Iranian media reports indicated that the US was spreading false news about negotiations in order to assassinate Kalibaf and create division within Iran.
