Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei compared dealing with the United States to wrestling with pigs at his weekly press conference in Tehran on Monday, citing a quote attributed to George Bernard Shaw to describe what he called a confrontation that had been imposed on Iran, stating that getting muddy was sometimes part of such a wrestling match. Baqaei also responded to US President Donald Trump's description of Iran negotiations as proceeding like a chess game without lights, saying that whether the lights were on or off, Iranians had demonstrated they were professional chess players. The comments came amid ongoing back-and-forth between Tehran and Washington over the status of nuclear and Hormuz-related negotiations, after Trump claimed talks were resuming, a claim Iran has repeatedly denied, with Tehran maintaining it is only exchanging messages through intermediaries rather than engaged in formal negotiations. Iran and Oman are continuing separate discussions over new maritime navigation arrangements in the Strait of Hormuz.
